< p > iRedMail configures Roundcube webmail to store last password change date while
user changed password. For MySQL/MariaDB/PostgreSQL backends, it's stored in
2014-10-06 23:39:09 -05:00
SQL database < code > vmail< / code > , column < code > mailbox.passwordlastchange< / code > . For LDAP backends,
it's stored in LDAP attribute < code > shadowLastChange< / code > of user account. If user
didn't change password before, or user account is newly created, the password
last change date will be set to < code > 0000-00-00 00:00:00< / code > .< / p >
