Contoso Ltd needs to implement a policy that requires users to change their passwords after a certain period of inactivity. Which of the following steps should they take to enforce this policy using Microsoft Entra ID?

Answer Options

A
Implement a third-party tool for password management.
B
Configure password expiration settings in Microsoft Entra ID.
C
Set up conditional access policies for password changes.
D
Use Azure AD Connect to synchronize password policies.

Correct Answer

B: Configure password expiration settings in Microsoft Entra ID.

Explanation

The correct answer is B. To enforce a password change policy after a period of inactivity, the IT team should configure the password expiration settings in Microsoft Entra ID. This ensures that users are prompted to change their passwords when they have been inactive for a specified period. Option A is incorrect because it does not address the specific requirement of changing passwords after inactivity. Option C is incorrect as it refers to setting up conditional access policies, which are not relevant to password expiration. Option D is incorrect because it suggests using a third-party tool, which is not necessary when Microsoft Entra ID provides the required functionality.
