  2. In the Azure AD portal, navigate to “Azure Active Directory” > “Security” > “Authentication methods.”
  3. Click on the “Password reset” tab.
  4. Under the “Properties” section, ensure that the “Users can reset passwords using the reset password portal” option is turned on.

Once you have enabled password reset through self-service, your Office 365 users will be able to reset their own passwords without needing to contact an administrator or IT support. They will need to register their security information, such as an alternate email address or phone number, in order to use self-service password reset.

Note that enabling self-service password reset requires an Azure AD Premium subscription. If you do not have a premium subscription, you may need to upgrade your subscription or contact Microsoft support for assistance.
