Microsoft Entra to allow passwordless password changes

This article discusses Microsoft's announcement (MC1437671) that passwordless users in Entra will soon be able to change their password from My Sign-Ins without needing their current password or using self-service password reset (SSPR). The feature, rolling out in October 2026, is designed to help organizations transitioning to passwordless authentication while still supporting legacy applications that require passwords. It explains why Microsoft is adding this option, who it affects, and how to determine how many users will be impacted. The change aims to reduce helpdesk calls by allowing users with passkeys, FIDO2 keys, or Windows Hello for Business to set a new password after verifying their identity. The feature is disabled by default and requires admin enablement.
