    Hey,

    How we could setup the password policy on Microsoft account?

    I know how to setup the password policy on local account or domain account but no idea about Microsoft account.

    Thanks.

    Accessing Password Policy in Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you would like to set Password policy. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

    To assist you better, I would like to know what happened when you try to change the policy. Did you get any error message?

    I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    You must log in as administrator to access these settings.


    • Press Windows key + R and type secpol.msc
      and press enter.

    • The Local Security Policy window will open. Now from the left pane, choose
      Password Policy from under Account Policies.

    • On the right side, choose Maximum password age.


    • If you wish the password to never Expire, set the value to
      0.
    Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.
