How to set user's password expiry in Azure Active Directory

Question

I'm trying to deploy a database using Azure DevOps SqlAzureDacpacDeployment@1 task. It is failing because the user account it is trying to use has an expired password. I set up a user account in Azure Active Directory specifically for this and I can see in the log that login attempts have been rejected due to the expired password.

I hunted all around the Azure Active Directory section of portal.azure.com, but can't seem to see anywhere to set the password expiration for this user or any way to set the expiration policy for all users. The account I'm doing this under has the global administrator role. The only docs I can see about this are referring to Office 365 admin portal or using PowerShell cmdlets.

Can anyone point me to where these setting are in the UI please?

If you want to change password expiration policy you need to go to admin.microsoft.com and then to Users\Security and Privacy.
