One can easily check the user account password expiry information on Linux. The /etc/shadow files stores actual password in encrypted format for user's account. You need to use the change command. It can display password expiry information as well as changes the number of days between password changes and the date of the last password change. This information is used by the system to determine when a user must change his/her password.
