Requiring Users to Change Passwords

Office 365 policy  settings typically require users to periodically change their passwords. Sometimes, you might have to ensure that a user changes her password the next time she logs on. For example, if you have to reset a password and give it to the user over the phone, you might want the user to change the password the next time she logs on.

You can set a user account to require the password to be changed on next logon by completing the following steps:

80. Select Users on the dashboard or click Active Users under the Users & Groups heading in the Features pane to display active users.

81. On the Users page, click a user that you want to work with

82. Click Reset Pasword.

83. On the Reset Password panel, select the Make This Person Chagne Their Password… check box. Click Reset.
