The article describes a program that reminds users to change their account password in a timely manner, in order to comply with information security requirements and prevent "hacks" and network attacks. The program is developed using a virtual machine (Virtual Box), followed by the installation of the Linux Mint operating system. The software is written in Python programming language, using libraries such as: notify2 (a package for displaying desktop notifications in Linux), schedule (a library for scheduling regular tasks), and other libraries. During the development of Python software for timely password change of the user, key functions were implemented that ensure security and convenience of work: checking the validity of the password, notifying the user.
