Assurance

[Benn Oshrin <>]

Expiring such an identity is effectively required for Bronze compliance 
(§4.2.3.2), which subjects passwords to NIST based requirements for 
resistance to guessing, which basically requires counting of failed 
authentication events or a password expiration policy.

I'd be happy to discuss whether such a requirement is suitable for 
Bronze, but that's a separate thread.
