Set the maximum password expiration period for Linux to 90 days or less

The client has been advised during security assessment that the maximum password expiration period for the Linux system in use should be set to 90 days or less. Currently, it is configured as PASS_MAX_DAYS 99999. Is there a concern about the potential impact on the system if this is set to 90 days or less?

Howdy, Stranger!
