Hi Thomas, I think the column PTIME of USER$ data dictionary will tell you when the password got changed. select name,to_char(ptime, 'dd-mon-yyyy') from sys.user$; Please let me know the result.

But is there a way to check an oracle pw against a dictionary at the time the pw gets changed (and perhaps reject the new pw)? On UX you have the ckpw tool where you can check against a pw dictionary.
