How to configure a specific email address to skip password update settings in the 365 admin center?

Michael Lui 40

If the password policy for an email account is managed by the local Active Directory (AD), but one email account was not created in AD but configured in the 365 Admin Center

Is there a way to configure this email account to skip password update policies in the 365 Admin Center?

Hello,

Is this account synced from on premises Active Directory, or created directly in Microsoft 365 as a cloud only user?

If the account is synced with on premises AD through Azure AD Connect, the policy is controlled in Active Directory, and you cannot override or skip it in the Microsoft 365 admin center. If the account is cloud only, go to Microsoft 365 admin center, Active users, select the user, Manage password, then set Password never expires. There is no supported way to bypass password policy for a synced user from Microsoft 365.
