At its core, Microsoft Entra Password Protection uses a global and custom banned password lists to prevent widely used and easily guessable passwords.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Microsoft maintains the global banned password list, which is continually updated based on the most recent threat intelligence. This list covers passwords commonly used in attacks, such as \u00abpassword123\u00bb and \u00abqwerty.\u00bb In addition, companies can create a custom banned password list based on their own requirements. This custom list can include words or phrases related to the organization, such as the company name, product names, or industry-specific terms, ensuring that users avoid predictable password patterns.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">By implementing these lists, Microsoft Entra Password Protection significantly reduces the risk of compromised passwords, enhancing the overall security posture of the organization.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7675ae e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c7675ae\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;,&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fde65a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1fde65a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"implementing-azure-ad-password-policies\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Implementing Azure AD Password Policies<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d63aa41 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d63aa41\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Strong password policies are essential to safeguarding user accounts and preventing unauthorized access.

The initial step in this process is to compare the password to the global banned password list and the custom banned password list. If the password matches any of the entries on these lists, it is instantly prohibited, and the user is required to provide a new password.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Beyond checking against banned password lists, the password evaluation process also assesses the complexity and strength of the password. This includes ensuring the password meets minimum length requirements, contains a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters, and does not include sequential or repetitive characters. If the password fails to meet these criteria, it is blocked, and the user must create a stronger password.
