    Hi there, in the settings you have…

    Delete used passwords – Activate to delete used passwords after a defined period of time
    and
    Expire passwords after x hours

    Does the Delete used passwords work along side Expire passwords after x hours? Or are they 2 separate settings?
    My confusion lies in that one says delete and the other says expire… what’s the difference?

    Hi @perthmetro ,

    Delete and expire actually means the same thing and these two settings work together.
    The first setting defines if the passwords are getting deleted at all.
    The second setting defines the time delay after the password usage, after which the password will be deleted.

    Say a user uses a pw at 10:00 and you define it to expire/delete it after 5 hours, it will be deleted at around 15:00.

    Hope that helps!
