OK: User can log in with their current password.
Temporary: User must change their password upon first login.
Temporary-Expired: User cannot log in until an administrator resends a temporary password.
Reset-Code: User can log in after setting a new password using a confirmation code.
Reset-Code-Expired: User cannot login until admin resets password or user uses forgot password.
