I want to understand what exactly does passwordExpired attribute of users table do ?
I have gone through documentation and there it is mentioned that if set to
'0' indicates that questions will not be asked.
'1' indicates that questions will be asked.
By questions does this mean security questions if yes, then does it mean user will be asked to set questions and answers as well as reset the password when user logs in for the first time if passwordExpired=1?
And what happens if passwordExpired is set to 0?
Truly appreciate if somebody sheds more light on this and help me understand the functionality.

The passwordExpired attribute in Saviynt's users table is used to manage the user password lifecycle and enforce specific actions based on the state of the password. It controls what happens when a user logs in, particularly around prompting for password reset or security questions.
When passwordExpired = 1:
When passwordExpired = 0:
If security questions aren't enabled in your environment, setting passwordExpired = 1 would simply trigger a password reset prompt without any additional steps for security questions.
In summary, the passwordExpired attribute primarily controls whether a user is required to reset their password upon login, and if security questions are configured, it also manages whether those questions will be involved in the password reset process.
