Definitely forces a reset

Little Package March 25, 2019
I wasn't clear if it would, but this plugin seems to force an immediate password reset. I chose a 1-day interval (since 0 wasn't a valid option), expecting passwords to be force-changed tomorrow, but the plugin immediately prompted me to change my password. That's what I wanted, so I liked it. Otherwise, that could come as a surprise to some people. Thank you.

Great plugin
