Unable to login the user created by MS Graph

Question

I followed the following example to create a user "Casey Jensen" in my AAD B2C.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/microsoft-graph-operations#code-sample-how-to-programmatically-manage-user-accounts
I saved the password so I can test the signin procedure. I saw "Casey Jensen" got created in my AAD B2C as the following.

When I ran the signupsignin1 user flow,

and signin as Casey Jensen

It said the password has expired.

How to fix this problem when creating a user?

Hi @Carol Lai · Thank you for reaching out.

I am suspecting the account that you have created using Graph API is created with a temporary password, which is marked as expired and must be changed at first sign-in.

To allow force password change via B2C User Flow, you need to:

Open B2C_1_signupsignin1 User Flow > Properties > Under Password Configuration section > Select the checkbox for Forced password reset (Preview)

Once this is done, try to signin using same account and you should be presented with below screen to set a permanent password for the user account.
