How to Find Last Password Changed Date for an Active Directory User Account?

You can find the last password changed date for an Active Directory user account using the following steps:

1. Open the Active Directory Users and Computers console on your domain controller.
2. Locate the user account whose last password change date you want to find and right-click on the account.
3. Select “Properties” from the context menu to open the Properties dialog box for the user account.
4. Click on the “Attribute Editor” tab and scroll down to find the “pwdLastSet” attribute.
5. The value of the “pwdLastSet” attribute represents the number of 100 nanosecond intervals that have elapsed since January 1, 1601, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This value is stored as a large integer (also known as a “filetime” value).
6. To convert this value to a more readable format, you can use a tool such as PowerShell. Open PowerShell on your domain controller and run the following command:

Get-ADUser -Identity username -Properties PasswordLastSet | Select-Object Name, PasswordLastSet

Replace “username” with the actual username of the user account that you want to check. This command will retrieve the name and password last set date of the specified user account in a readable format.

Alternatively, you can use third-party tools that provide a graphical user interface to retrieve this information, such as ADAudit Plus. These tools can also provide additional information and reports related to user accounts in Active Directory.
