    Mandatory password chnage policies and password expiration are no longer considered best practice.
    See here and here
    Please allow users to disable this nag, or better yet, remove the nag feature completely.

    KeePass does not remind users to change their master password by default. However, every database has an option to set a master key expiration interval. You can set the options back to their default values as follows: While your database is open, select File>Database Settings...>Advanced(tab). Uncheck all of the boxes in the Master Key section.

    In addition to the options mentioned by Wellread1 above, a master key change prompt can be displayed due to settings in an (enforced) configuration file:

    In this case, you'll need to convince your administrator to remove the setting/prompt.

    By default, all of these options are off.

    Best regards,
