Documentation change

The comparison below shows only the changed extract. Use the full-page view for complete context.

A user navigates to Security info. After signing in, the user can change their password. If the user authenticates with a password and a multifactor authentication method, they can change their password without entering their existing password.

An organization can also allow users to change their cloud password after they sign in with Microsoft Entra certificate-based authentication (CBA), a passkey (FIDO2), or a Microsoft Authenticator passwordless phone sign-in notification. Users don't need to know or enter their current password, and they don't need to be registered for SSPR. For administrator configuration, user steps, and limitations, see Allow password change after secure sign-in..

Authentication methods such as Temporary Access Pass (TAP) aren't supported for password change unless the user knows their existing password.
