Check the password validity period.
vi /etc/login.defs

The value of parameter PASS_MAX_DAYS is the password validity period.
Change the value of parameter PASS_MAX_DAYS.
chage -M 99999 user_name

99999 is the password validity period, and user_name is a system user.

Configure the password validity period as needed and change it on a regular basis.
