Where to modify password complexity policy in office 365?

@adam deltinger This link only shows the Microsoft recommendations and another link to change a password expiration date. There is nothing on where the complexity settings are changed. It appears Teams inherits the core MS password complexity requirements and, at least for a non-profit tenant, there is no way to change them.

There actually is a link there, if you go to the left-hand sidebar and rummage around. The page I wound up at (eventually) was:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/add-users/strong-password
The page title is "Turn off strong password requirements for users"

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?
