Entra ID password protection
Azure MFA keeps most intruders out – and proactively prevents other people from getting access to your environment with only the password. This isn’t enough, as there are more Microsoft services to leverage in order to secure your user accounts…
Avoid bad passwords with the Entra ID password protection feature. With Entra ID password protection, default global banned password lists are automatically applied to all users in an Entra ID tenant. You can define entries in a custom banned password list to support your own business and security needs.
Adding this feature would assure you, as an IT administrator, that the most common passwords – which are no different every year – stay in the past!
You can find the Password protection feature under Authentication methods in the Entra admin center. You can also change the lockout thresholds here.
