Linux password expiring and cron jobs failing

$

I have jobs running on a server which I access via powerbroker (so don’t know the password). However the password of the user account expired recently and the said jobs failed.

Due to password policy I don’t think I will be able to get a non-expiring password for this account and updating the password monthly for an account only used to run cron jobs seems a bit of a waste.

Therefore I was wondering if there is any option to have a user account that can’t be accessed using a password but can be logged into using other methods such as ssh keys or via powerbroker?

Thanks,
Ande
