Removing Password HASH after switching from PHS to PTA

Hello,
I have several questions regarding migration from Azure AD Password Hash Synchronization to Pass-Through Authentication:

  1. Our client needs a confirmation what after migration (switching auth from PHS to PTA and clearing Password Hash checkbox in Azure AD Connect) passwords will not be stored in the Azure AD in any form (Password HASH included), can we see any confirmation in Azure Portal or get it with PowerShell? We need to see actual difference before and after the migration.
  2. Is that a certain procedure to remove password hashes from Azure AD after migration if hashes are still there?
  3. Can we get a list of attributes what syncs from Active Directory to Azure AD in case of PHS and PTA and see the difference?
    Thanks!

    As far as I know, there is no way to remove the hash. If there are concerns, I would have users change their passwords, but since its secure, there really isnt a "security issue" here.
