# ◾ How can I set password change request?

Users can be required to **change their passwords** after a set period of time. 

This time period can be determined by typing the desired number of days in the ***Request password change after every***  **[  ]** ***day(s)*** field, then clicking the **Save Changes** button at the bottom of the screen.

:::info
You may have to **scroll down for the field** to be displayed.

:::


:::warning
For LDAP-authenticated users, the password change is managed via the LDAP server, not within the LearningSpace system; thus, **the password change request would not apply**.

:::



:::success
Under the **General** settings, the "Request password change at first login" option can also be activated to require users to change their passwords upon first login.
