Hi,
In which mode is your user source? Internal, Database ?

If your are in Database mode, you can simply add a new table with the password creation date. Each time a user change a password just refresh the creation date to "now()".
And then, when the user log in, check that the date is older than the expiration time, then force the user to change the password.

And if you want to force the user to really change the password, just create another table and store the X last password hashes per user, and check if the new password hash is equal to one of these.

For your information, ignition will hash and encode in base64 all passwords.
So to store passwords, or check if the password are equals, use the function below

import hashlib
import base64

passwordHash = base64.b64encode(hashlib.sha1("Sup3rS3cr3tPa$$word").digest())

I hope this helps you.

Best regards,
Steven Cheron
