Let users reset their own passwords in Office 365

Getting crushed with people asking you to reset their passwords? As the Office 365 admin, you can let people use the self-service password reset tool so you don’t have to reset passwords for them. Less work for you!

Here are a few things you need to know:

  • You get the self-service password reset for cloud users free with any Office 365 business, education, or nonprofit paid plan. It doesn’t work with Office 365 trial.
  • It uses Azure. You’ll automatically get this feature in Azure for free when you do these steps. It won’t cost you anything to turn on self-service password reset if you don’t use other Azure features.
  • If you’re using an on-premises Active Directory, the above two points don’t apply. Rather, you can set this up but it requires a paid subscription to Azure AD Premium.
