    Hi Bogdan,

    There is no possible way to change the password complexity within Office 365. However, you can ban common passwords:

    Password policy recommendations for Microsoft 365 passwords

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/misc/password-policy-recommendations?view=o365-worldwide

    It is recommended that you enforce MFA.
