Microsoft dropped the password-expiration policy in the latest draft version of the security configuration baseline settings for Windows 10 (v1903) and Windows Server (v1903), calling the practice “an ancient and obsolete mitigation of very low value.” According to the draft document, Microsoft will no longer recommend that accounts controlled by the network’s group policy have a policy to require users to change their passwords periodically. If you set up a security question when you created your Microsoft account, you also have the option to recover your account by answering the security question instead.Users who hate having to change their Windows passwords every 60 days can rejoice: Microsoft now agrees that there is no point to forced password changes and will be removing that recommendation from its security recommendations. Finally, set a new password for your Microsoft account.

Once you receive the account reset code from Microsoft, enter the code that you receive in the email on the next page, and click Next. Assuming that you still have access to that email account, select Email and click Get code. The next page will ask you whether you want to email a security code to your email address so you can reset your password. On the next page, instead of entering your password, click Forgot Password? (depending on whether you’ve previously logged in, this link may be titled Forgotten your password? instead). Enter the email address that you used to sign up with Microsoft, and click Sign in. If you’ve forgotten your Microsoft Office password, you can get a reminder from the Microsoft account login page. Click Forgotten your password on the login page (Image credit: Microsoft)
