Where to modify password complexity policy in office 365?
This only instructs us how to disable strong password requirements for users. How do we fine tune the password complexity of an Office 365 user? For example, we would like to set the same policy for our Office 365 users as we have for our synced AD users.

Also looking for this.
We can reset passwords in either the on-prem or cloud tenant with password write-back; unfortunately a lot of times the password the cloud randomly generates doesn't meet the complexity requirements; so now instead of the helpdesk being able to quickly and easily reset passwords using the web interface they are already in a good chuck of the day; they now have to VPN in to the datacenters and connect to a PC with RSAT tools.
How can we adjust the policy so that the randomly generated password is more complex?- SebCerazyApr 19, 2024Iron ContributorThere is no option. Also there is no option to define any password policy in Azure (of sorry!), Entra AD
In comparison to local AD it looks to me like step backwards- CraigCannonOct 31, 2024Copper Contributor
I had the same question and it was driving me crazy. Well I found it in intune admin center. Intune is now Endpoint Manager. Its under Default Windows 10/11 Restrictions. Scroll down and look under password. There you will find the complexity requirements. - CC SebCerazy
