Password Never Expires allows the user to be exempt from the Password
Expiry Days setting (designed to force users to enter new passwords in after a
given period of time) in Hardcat Global Options
Failed Login Attempts shows how many times an attempt to login has been
made against this user record where the password has not matched.
Unlock allows an administrator to unlock a user who has been locked out due to
too many unsuccessful login attempts
Important note for customers upgrading from 3.30b and earlier!
Hardcat has always stored passwords in upper case, but tolerated lower case being entered
by users. Hardcat 3.30c and later releases are case sensitive. Because some users may not
remember which case (or combination of cases) they used when entering the password, you
may need to reset passwords for some users when upgrading from 3.30b and earlier
releases.
