I have opensuse Thumbleweed as a member od windows AD domain. It started showing password expiration notice.

Its KDM, I'm unsure what you mean by "when did it started to work". It was always working - i.e. logging with a domain user/pass. It's just a company policy that passwords expire, and I need to change mine.
What is the opensuse way to change my password for the domain?
Both display managers (kdm/ gdm) had been able to handle this quite well. If this doesn't work any longer please file a bug report.
I.e. you mean - when I try to login, and it no longer let's me in, I can change the password from the login screen? Or the KDM has somewhere option to change password - I could not find it, that's why I ask.
I have never seen a place to change it. I always have had to do so via Windows. Of course, I have not tried in a while. But if your password is expired (not accepted) and KDM does not pop up a window offering you to set a new one, then I bet there is no such facility. I have never recognized any KDM configuration option that enables that. That is not to say there isn't one... Having said that, what happens with a regular Linux account password if it is set to expire? Does KDM offer a place to enter a new one? While on the topic of AD, aside from not needing to set up an account on the Linux machine, what else can logging in via AD offer on openSUSE?
