Method 1、Configuring the Maximum password age policy setting to 0

Note：

The Maximum password age policy setting determines the period of time (in days) that a password can be used before the system requires the user to change it.

You can set passwords to expire after a number of days between 1 and 999, or you can specify that passwords never expire by setting the number of days to 0.

Setting Maximum password age to -1 is equivalent to 0, which means it never expires. Setting it to any other negative number is equivalent to setting it to Not Defined.
