Better Description of what StrongPasswordRequired does
Can anyone location MSFT Documentation for exactly what this does?
set-msoluser -StrongPasswordRequired $true
versus
set-msoluser -StrongPasswordRequired $false
The documentation on set-msoluser only states:
"Specifies whether to require a strong password for the user" https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/msonline/set-msoluser?view=azureadps-1.0
But what I'm trying to find out is, what is the password policy for a strong password, and what is the policy for when this is set to false?
For example, Strong prevents you using your own username in the password, etc. ( I need the full policy definition on a Microsoft documentation site).
Thanks,
Joe

Set-msoluser is being phased out
- Thanks Dean. I've read that document multiple times but I can't seem to find what the *policy* difference is when this parameter is set to true or false?
StrongPasswordRequired $true vs StrongPasswordRequired $false
For example, Strong prevents you using your own username in the password? Anything else?
Thanks!A little late, but just wanted to complete the thread.
Strong passwords only:
