Nothing to do with passwords at all. It's just to weed out accounts using disposable email addresses to set up accounts. Some of these will be Spammers.0

They have never enforced a Password Reset before ever !Just had this appear when logging in to the MSE forums:
Your password is 4409 days old, and has therefore expired.
4409? Struggling to see the logic there as:
4409/365 = 12.079
4409/52 = 84.788
4409/7 = 629.857
At my old company it was every 42 days as 42/7 = 6 so a logical format?
I'm not criticising at all, just wondering!
They probably wanted to enforce bit of security & clearout of old unused accounts.
They were going to have 90 day time limit, but that has changed & been withdrawn.

I've just logged in for the first time in weeks and didn't have a prompt, just used the password I've had for years.
Guess it's been resolved.Move along, nothing to see.0
