Password expiration notification on Macos
joao_ramos With Windows, a pop up comes because it is also the Windows account. This is different with macOS. I read on the Microsoft Learn pages that Password Expiration Notifications are no longer supported: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/manage/set-password-expiration-policy?view=o365-worldwide
I think the most important point here is to name. Make sure your Conditional Access is properly set up and get rid of password changes. Password expiration requirements do more harm than good, because these requirements let users choose predictable passwords consisting of consecutive words and numbers that are closely related. In these cases, the next password can be predicted based on the previous password. Password expiration requirements offer no benefits because cybercriminals almost always use credentials as soon as they get their hands on them: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/misc/password-policy-recommendations?view=o365-worldwide
Thank you,

You could, of course, use Power Automate to create a flow that sends a message via teams or email to the user every month to change their password. But there is no trigger for this that responds to password expiration.
You could also use Power Automate to have the password changed automatically, and then send this password to the user. However, I don't think this is a nice solution.

I will try to explore power automate for this one, but i´m afraid it won´t work properly, because we have set to expiry once a year and every user has a different date.
