passwordAuthenticationMethod: resetPassword

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Initiate a reset for the password associated with a password authentication method object. This can only be done by an administrator with appropriate permissions and can't be performed on a user's own account.

To reset a user's password in in Azure AD B2C, use the Update user API operation and update the passwordProfile > forceChangePasswordNextSignIn object.

This flow writes the new password to Microsoft Entra ID and pushes it to on-premises Active Directory if configured using password writeback. The admin can either provide a new password or have the system generate one. The user is prompted to change their password on their next sign in.

This reset is a long-running operation and will return a Location header with a link where the caller can periodically check for the status of the reset operation.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service US Government L4 US Government L5 (DOD) China operated by 21Vianet
