Hi folks, I am aware in Active Directory Users and Computers, there is a checkbox setting, "User must change password a next login" When I look in Azure AD Admin / Entra Admin, I seem unable to find the equivalent "User must change password a next login" checkbox When I search the web there's many answers to forcing "User must change password a next login" that all seem un-necessarily complex (e.g. running scripts, setting up policy groups) Can someone please direct me to where the "User must change password a next login" checkbox setting is in Azure AD / Entra If this setting isn't currently available, can the nice people at Microsoft please add this as a feature request? Thanks for any help. Steve

Hi folks,

I am aware in Active Directory Users and Computers, there is a checkbox setting, "User must change password a next login"
When I look in Azure AD Admin / Entra Admin, I seem unable to find the equivalent "User must change password a next login" checkbox
When I search the web there's many answers to forcing "User must change password a next login" that all seem un-necessarily complex (e.g. running scripts, setting up policy groups)
Can someone please direct me to where the "User must change password a next login" checkbox setting is in Azure AD / Entra
If this setting isn't currently available, can the nice people at Microsoft please add this as a feature request?

Thanks for any help.

Steve

Hi JamesTran-MSFT

Yes please, I do have a question. As mentioned earlier in this thread, this thread that you and I are typing in just now is a duplicate thread created in error. I provided a link to the primary thread. What was the reason for which the primary thread was deleted and this thread was retained despite this thread being secondary? The primary thread had a greater level of intellectual capital than the secondary thread. The intellectual capital in the primary thread is now lost.

Regards,

Steve

@SteveCRF Thank you for reaching out to us, As I understand you are looking for a check box which says "User must change password a next login" when an admin resets the password from the Entra portal.

When an admin changes the password of the user, by default end user has to change the password, same is mentioned here on this screen

Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/fundamentals/users-reset-password-azure-portal#:~:text=The%20user%20will%20be%20required%20to%20change%20the%20password%20during%20the%20next%20sign%2Din%20process.

If you perform the same operation of resetting the password from Microsoft 365 Admin Center (https://admin.microsoft.com/) while resetting the password from here you will find these options

Hope this information help you, let me know if you have any further questions, feel free to post back.

@SteveCRF Thank you for your feedback on this post - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1409029/where-in-azure-ad-admin-entra-admin-is-user-must-c

As mentioned above we do have options from different admin portal where once admin resets the password, end user is not enforced to change his password.

But this option of user changing the password after password reset is a security measure.

Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/fundamentals/users-reset-password-azure-portal

Let me know if this information helps else happy to have a call with you to understand your concern regarding this issue in detailed.
