Hello aaroncatt9
By default, vCenter Single Sign-On passwords expire after 90 days. The vSphere Web Client reminds you when your password is about to expire, but there is no specific date on which it will prompt , it will just throw an warning
You can change this Password policy using the below link and set your custom days .
More information
Users in the vsphere.local domain can change their vCenter Single Sign-On passwords from the
vSphere Web Client. Users in other domains change their passwords following the rules for that domain.
You can change a vCenter Single Sign-On password from the vSphere Web Client.
The vCenter Single Sign-On lockout policy determines when your password expires. By default, vCenter
Single Sign-On user passwords expire after 90 days, but administrator passwords such as the password for
administrator@vsphere.local do not expire. vCenter Single Sign-On management interfaces show a warning
when your password is about to expire.
This procedure explains how you can change a password. If your password is expired, the administrator of
the local domain (vsphere.local by default) or another member of the Administrators group for the local
domain can reset the password by using the dir-cli password reset command.
