Where in Azure Ad Admin / Entra Admin is "user must change password a next login"?

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 Steve,

    You cannot do this from the portals without changing the user's password. Otherwise, you can achieve this using Microsoft Graph PowerShell:

    Connect-MgGraph -Scopes Directory.AccessAsUser.All

$PasswordProfile = @{
  ForceChangePasswordNextSignIn = $true
}

Update-MgUser -userid %upn% -PasswordProfile $PasswordProfile

    If you plan to do this for all users, you should consider modifying the password expiration policy in Microsoft Entra. Otherwise, if this is due to a suspected breach, you should change the user's password yourself.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi , hope doing well

    To answer your query ,by default user will require to change the password and you do not need to look for any checkbox or something it is automatically done when you are resetting user password

    NOTE : When using Microsoft Entra ID or Azure AD, a temporary password is auto-generated for the user. When using Active Directory on-premises, you create the password for the user.

    Please check below for detailed steps

    You can configure this option through the Azure Portal. To set up a user to change their password at the next login, follow these steps:

    • Navigate to the Azure Portal (https://portal.azure.com).
    • Go to "Azure Active Directory."
    • Select "Users" from the left-hand menu.
    • Find the user you want to force to change their password and click on their name.
    • In the user profile, select the "Authentication methods" tab.
    • In the "Password reset" section, set "Require user to reset their password" to "Yes."

    This will prompt the user to change their password the next time they log in.
