Before you begin

• You get self-service password reset for cloud users free with any Microsoft 365 business, education, or nonprofit paid plan. It doesn't work with Microsoft 365 trial.

• It uses Azure. You'll automatically get this feature in Azure for free when you do these steps. It won't cost you anything to turn on self-service password reset if you don't use other Azure features.

• If you're using an on-premises Active Directory, the above two points don't apply. Rather, you can set this up but it requires a paid subscription to Azure AD Premium.

This article is for people who set password expiration policy for a business, school, or nonprofit. To complete these steps, you need to sign in with your Microsoft 365 admin account. [What's an admin account?](Overview of the Microsoft 365 admin center](../admin-overview/admin-center-overview.md)
