To improve the security of your account, SurveyMethods allows you to set a password expiration period. If you activate this setting, SurveyMethods will automatically prompt you to update your password the first time you log in after the expiration period has passed.

To enable this setting, first log in to your SurveyMethods account and then navigate to My Account by hovering over the icon at the top right and choosing My Account.

On the Profile tab, click the link titled “Manage Password Expiration & Account Lock Out”.

To set an account expiration period, check the box next to “My password should expire after [n] days”, enter the desired expiration period, and click Save.

This setting can be used on its own or in conjunction with the maximum login attempts setting.

When you reach the designated number of days since your last password reset, the first time you log in to your SurveyMethods account you will be prompted to enter a new password.
