"Windows 11 Notification: Your Password Will Expire Soon"

I usually don't need to input a password when I start my computer as it automatically boots up to Windows 11. However, recently a message has been appearing saying that my password will expire soon. I am unsure why this is happening since I don't use a password to access my computer. Could this message be related to my Microsoft account? How can I disable this feature if it is not necessary for me?

    Modifying registry keys can sometimes cause unexpected behavior, so proceed cautiously.

    The notification "Your Password Will Expire Soon" typically appears when your Windows account, whether local or Microsoft, is set to have an expiration policy. Even if you don’t actively use a password to log in (e.g., auto-login), Windows may still have a password assigned or policies in place that trigger this message.
