Why each option
The vCenter Server advanced setting VimPasswordExpirationInDays controls how often the vpxuser account password is automatically rotated by vCenter.
VimPasswordExpirationInDays is the exact advanced configuration key used in vCenter Server to define the number of days before the vpxuser password expires and is automatically changed. This setting is configured under vCenter Server > Configure > Advanced Settings and accepts an integer value representing days. Configuring this setting properly ensures the vpxuser credential used by vCenter to communicate with ESXi hosts is regularly rotated.
VimExpirationPasswordDays is not a valid vCenter advanced setting key and does not exist in the vCenter configuration schema.
VimPassExpirationInDays is an incorrect key name and is not recognized by vCenter Server as a valid advanced setting.
VimPasswordRefreshDays is not a valid advanced setting key for vCenter Server and would have no effect if entered.
