Restrict users from saving passwords in One Drive
What do you mean exactly? If the users are storing their passwords in some file stored within ODFB, there's not much you can do. Configuring a DLP policy with the "password" SIT can help with potential sharing/external access, but as far as saving the passwords within a file, email or similar, you cannot prevent that.
Thank you for the response. We are working to make users utilize password manager rather than saving passwords with ODFB. We actually had an instance where user account was compromised and the bad actor was easily able to get high privileged credentials saved within users ODFB. I was just wondering if we can restrict or at least generate some alerts in this case.

As I mentioned above, look into DLP policies with the "All credentials" SIT: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/sit-defn-all-creds
