How to Disable Password Change On First Login Microsoft Entra ID

Hey Blake Clarkson STAFF

It looks like you're looking to disable the password change requirement for new users on Microsoft Entra ID during their first login. Here's what you need to know:

1. Password Management Policies: By default, Microsoft Entra ID has certain security policies in place, but to specifically address disabling the password change requirement on first login, you'd typically manage this through user creation settings or custom policies.
2. Passwordless Authentication: If your organization is moving towards a passwordless environment, you may want to consider implementing passwordless authentication where users simply authenticate without using a password. This doesn't directly disable the first login password change but can prevent the need for users to interact with passwords at all.
3. Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR): If you have SSPR set up, users can manage their passwords independently, which may help mitigate the hassle of changing passwords on first login.

Unfortunately, there's no direct option within Entra ID to explicitly disable the password change on the first login requirement as it typically follows the organization's security policies, which can only be modified by certain roles or access levels within Azure.

Here are some steps to consider:

• Review User Creation Processes: Ensure that the user accounts are being set up with the correct policies.
• Implement Passwordless Strategy: If possible, transition your users to utilizing passwordless methods, which can reduce issues related to password management.
• Manage Password Policies: If you can access the organization's policies, review and adjust the settings related to initial password setup and management.

For detailed policies and configurations, you may want to check the following relevant resources:
