Re: How to preserve password change date

I don't think you can. Doing so would invalidate the definition of the
field. My best suggestion would be to reset the password expiration interval
for that user so they still need to change their password on the next
"scheduled" date. However, I agree with the other comments that this seems
somewhat covert, aren't you better off simply changing the password, doing
what you need to do, and then having the user reset it?
