MacOS 12.3.1 password must be changed after Intune enrollment
Who can help me to understand the following:
- I install the Company portal on a MacOS
- Log in to the Company Portal with a user to bring the device to Intune (the user has permission)
- Installing the profile works, after a few minutes the device is listed as "Compliant" in the Company Portal
- The device is also displayed as "compliant" in the Endpoint Manager
I have not assigned a Device Configuration Policy, there is only a Device Compliance Policy.
Now the question: Why do I have to change the password on my MacOS after a few minutes?
Hi RomanK7,
You can change your Compliance Policy if don’t like the user changing his passcode. I hear you on this as I had to deal with it before. It’s not ideal to change someone’s personal Device passcode.
You can change the settings to allow simple password and Device default. Screenshot attached!

I have a password policy and a compliance policy configured for macOS
I want to update the password policy
first, I remove one group at a time and add it to another configuration policy.
After that, the policy was applied almost instantly and I changed the password on the macbook.Question - Can I change the compliance policy? Or will it also require a password change?
Thanks to Adin_Calkic and Moe_Kinani
I understand now, as soon as I have a compliance policy, the Mac user will be prompted to change the password
just did another test - happy too soon
Unfortunately I have to change the password again. Did I miss something on the screenshot?Settings:

- Hi, I have somewhat similar issue but common problem is that it does not want to accept new password. It's just shaking the window no matter what you type and all requirements are green. This happens randomly bur I suspect that mostly after turning on Filevault.
Any advices on how to remedy this?Similar issue here but I didn’t make any changes to compliance policy, just added an app and it forced users to reset pw (and they could not use same pw that was set).
Hi RomanK7 ,
You'll receive a message from Company Portal if your device password doesn't meet your organization's security requirements.
Please check out these two documents:
Password requirements for Intune-enrolled devices | Microsoft Docs
Enroll your Mac with Intune Company Portal | Microsoft Docs
I hope this helps.
Hi Adin_Calkic
Thank you for your answer.
Unfortunately I couldn't see this in the Company Portal app.
It says "Status = Compatible" all the time.
The links are good, thanks
Hi RomanK7 ,
What I wanted to say is, if you change or set anything regarding the password requirements in the Compliance policy -> user will be prompted to change a password.
In fact, the same behavior occurs when editing Compliance policies -- the end user is prompted to change their passwords.
I hope this helps. Good luck.
