Office 365 password expiration policy

Fortunately, simplicity and efficiency go hand in hand with new and improved Office 365 admin options.

  1. Log in to Office 365 administration
  2. Select “Service settings” from left menu
  3. Select “Password” page
  4. Update provided fields with new values
  5. Save
