Password Expiry Email Notification

Password expiry notifications play a crucial role in maintaining the security posture of an organization. This alert reminds users and admins about the soon-to-be-expired passwords and asks them to reset them as soon as possible so that the accounts are always guarded against attackers. However, such notifications are often missed or taken too lightly by most of the users. But as an admin, you can make these notifications more compelling, holistic, and appealing.
