Authentication and Access Control

Password complexity and hardening for local users (QFX5220, QFX5230-64CD, QFX5240-64OD, and QFX5240-64QD)—Enhance password security for local users with the minimum-reuse and maximum-lifetime options at the [edit system login password] hierarchy level. These options ensure encrypted passwords meet reuse criteria and expire after a specified duration.

Use the CLI command show system login password-expiry-information to view password expiration details. Root users can see expiration data for all users, while non-root users can view their own password status.
