This password change experience is separate from SSPR. Users don't need to be registered for SSPR, and the number of authentication methods required by the SSPR policy doesn't apply.

To use this feature, users need a Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2 license.

Enable password changes with passwordless authentication

By default, passwordless users can't change their password without entering their current password. To enable the experience, you need at least the Authentication Policy Administrator role.
