issue reseting user passwords
Hi all, I keep getting this error recently when trying to change passwords for O365 accounts: Any ideas?

Have you tried doing this via the Azure AD blade or PowerShell? Is this a synced user (password writeback)?
- AB21805Oct 12, 2021Bronze ContributorHi,
We don't use AD connect. I havent tried using powershell or AD blade but we use Salamander and due to our password we use on all new accounts not working they are not created. So we would like for the common password we use at first log in be allowed. Any ideas?- VasilMichevOct 12, 2021MVPThe password needs to comply with the minimum requirements as detailed here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/concept-sspr-policy#password-policies-that-only-apply-to-cloud-user-accounts

The password we set is 7 characters long with a ! so all in 8 characters but only the other day this has stopped working with the password we use for all new starters till they change it at first log in
