----------------------------+-----------------------------
 When building solutions on WordPress for medium to large sized businesses,
 having the ability to require users to change there password over a
 specific period of time is a very useful and in some cases required piece
 of functionality.

 == Proposed Functionality
 * Give administrators the ability to globally enable password expiration
 * When globally set, allow administrators to set the expiration interval
 (in days) for all or selected user roles
 * Give administrators the ability to request a single user to change their
 password the next time they login
 * Users with expired passwords need to change their password in order to
 proceed to the admin
 * Do not allow users to use the same password twice

 == Use Cases
 * Security policies for organizations
 * Manually adding of users with temporary passwords
 * Automatically require password change if site has been compromised
