Enable and Manage Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) in Entra ID

Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) is a vital feature for organizations using Microsoft Entra ID, allowing users to reset their passwords without needing IT intervention. This guide will walk you through the steps to enable and manage SSPR in your organization.

Step 1: Log in to Microsoft 365 admin center

To begin, log in to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center using an admin account. Only administrators or users with the right permissions can enable and manage SSPR settings.

Step 2: Navigate to Microsoft Entra

Once logged in, look for Microsoft Entra in the left-hand navigation pane. If you don’t see it, you may need to click on Show all in the Admin centers section.

Step 3: Configure self-service password reset

In the Microsoft Entra portal, navigate to Users > Password reset. Here, you can configure the SSPR settings according to your organization's policies.

Step 4: Set up authentication methods

Select the authentication methods that users can utilize to verify their identity during the password reset process. Options typically include email, phone number, or security questions.

Step 5: Enable self-service password reset for users

You can choose to enable SSPR for all users or specific groups. Make your selection based on your organization's needs and security considerations.

Step 6: Notify users

Once SSPR is enabled, communicate the changes to your users. Provide instructions on how to use the feature and the available authentication methods.

Step 7: Monitor usage and feedback

After implementation, monitor the usage of SSPR and gather feedback from users. This will help you make any necessary adjustments to improve the user experience and ensure the feature is effectively meeting organizational needs.
