Today’s tip shows you how to enable password reset for your Azure AD users.

If you are attempting login, maybe setting up your device via Autopilot but can’t remember the password you’ll be presented with a handy link to reset it now.

If you don’t have password reset enabled for your users then you will get the following message.

To enable password reset, head over to your Azure portal, go to Intune>Users>Password Reset>Properties. Here you can choose None, Selected and All. Choosing Selected will allow you define a group of users to apply the password self servicing to.  I’m going to select All for my tenant. Click Save to confirm your selection.

Ensure that the user accounts you wish to set up for password reset have a telephone number associated with their user account in Intune>Users>Select User\s>Profile.
