Update a date from a login flow?

In the object Opportunities there's a field named Expected Order Month.
If the date in that field has expired, I want to make a login flow that doesn't let the user do other thing if he doesn't set a new date.

Marcela, 

You would need to create a validation rule on the opportunity. Login flows are only for when a user logs into salesforce for additional authentication. They are not used for business processes. 

The validation rule would look like this: 
Expected_Order_Month__c < today() && NOT(ISBLANK(Expected_Order_Month__c))

Ok, that's what I wanted to know. I was breaking my head with the flows.
Thank you.
