That's a great question. Fortunately we don't have to deal with a 6 month password change policy, but passwords do get changed and reset for various reasons so it is still an issue.
We haven't had a chance to test this yet, but I think the issue may vary by OS. One user informed me that he changed his password, then he was just prompted for a new one the next time he got on 1x. He said after that he it didn't ask again, so it must have stored the new credentials. I forget if it was XP or Vista. We have also considered using the IDEngines product to manage this as well. This would mean that we would just tell the user to run the config utility after they changed their password which would prompt them for a new one. But again, we haven't gotten around to doing a lot of testing yet.
