There could be a requirement when you want to set the users password to never expire on office365. The setting for In-cloud accounts is controlled using Set-msoluser command. Please make sure before you set the password for the users to never expire, all users are enabled for Two Factor Authentication (2FA). You can create a conditional access (CA) policy which requires 2FA when anyone access the Cloud resources which will protect the user accounts.

MSonline Powershell Module must be imported before you can use connect-msolservice command and update the passwordneverexpires attribute.

Download the PS Module from: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/MSOnline/1.1.166.0

Once you have all the pre-requisites installed on the machine and have an admin account to make the changes. Follow below steps / commands to set the attribute.

  • Launch Powershell on your machine.
  • Import the MSonline powershell module using import-module msonline
  • Use the command Connect-msolservice to connect to the Office365.

  • Set the PasswordNeverExpires Value for all the users to $true
