Explanation

Self-service password reset allows users to reset their passwords or unlock their accounts without the need for assistance from IT personnel. In Azure AD, self-service password reset can be performed through web portals, mobile apps, and security questions.


Users can reset their passwords from anywhere, provided they have access to a web browser or mobile app that is connected to the internet.


Self-service password reset can be assigned to users or groups through Azure AD roles. Global administrators are the only ones who can configure and manage self-service password reset policies, but they are not the only ones who can perform self-service password reset.


Self-service password reset can be used with password writeback, a feature that allows password changes made in Azure AD to be written back to an on-premises Active Directory environment.


Users can perform self-service password reset using the Microsoft Authenticator app, which can be configured to send notifications or codes to users to verify their identity during the password reset process.
