Turn off your oracle password expiration

In this I am going to explain to turn off oracle user expiration alert.

To turn off this alert, execute the below sql statements.

To alter the password expiry policy for a certain user profile in Oracle first check wich profile the user is in using:

select profile from DBA_USERS where username = <username>;

Then you can change the limit to never expire using:

alter profile <profile_name> limit password_life_time UNLIMITED;
EX: ALTER PROFILE "DEFAULT" LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED;

If you want to previously check the limit you may use:

select resource_name,limit from dba_profiles where profile='<profile_name>';

Happy learning :)
