So it looks like by default it has Strong password enabled, but it only enforces 8 characters, we simply want to change it to 10-16, how best to do that?
Thanks again,
Rob

I’m not sure about this one though! It seems to be in preview and don’t know about license requirements etc! Try it out

I've just tried to go over this and it seems incredibly long winded, why on earth do Microsoft make it so complicated to adjust password policies?
Unfortunately the documentation did not work/the steps were broken, and I don't really understand the whole B2C concept or what it is exactly. This should be much simpler and built into t he Exchange admin area along with the password expiration options. I really don't understand the thought process behind this.
Thanks anyway, we will just stick with the 8-16 (16 is also an incredibly short limit??) they claim as 'strong'.
Thanks

Thanks Adam.
Ok - I see the expiration option now thank you.But im a little stuck on complexity. Is there a webpage in O365 or Azure backend to set these options?
Also is there a way to enforce a password change across all users, so they must change passwords on next login to office.com ? This would be useful once I set the complexity.
