You can check the box for "Password Expiry" if you want to force the user to change their password on or after a certain date. Select a date by clicking on the calendar button.
You can also input the user's MAC address of the computer they will be using the access DSS Express from, by checking the "MAC Address" box and filling in their MAC address.
