Password policy best practices
When it comes to password safety, the stronger the password protection policy is, the better. To help improve security, basic authentication should be replaced with stronger verification methods, such as multifactor authentication.
Password protection for Azure Active Directory
Password protection for Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) detects and blocks known weak passwords and their variants, and other common terms specific to your organization. It also includes custom banned password lists and self-service password reset capabilities.
Block weak passwords in the cloud
Cloud-based password protection can help you stop weak passwords, their variants, and other risky terms from being used in your organization.
Block weak passwords on-premises
On-premises password protection uses the same global and custom banned password lists that are stored in Azure AD. It also checks for the same password changes that Azure AD monitors in the cloud.
Minimize friction with self-service management
Azure AD self-service capabilities help users reset their passwords when prompted, verify sign-ins when risky behavior is detected, and update their security information.
