Summary

Completed 100 XP

In this module, you've learned how you can use SSPR in Microsoft Entra ID to allow users to reset their forgotten or expired passwords. An administrator doesn't have to do the password reset. SSPR is secured by authentication methods of your choice. These methods can include a mobile authentication app, a code sent to you by an SMS text message, or security questions.

SSPR helps reduce the amount of work required from administrators. It also minimizes the productivity impact for users when they forget their password.
