While changing passwords is a good practice, and in theory should be done as much as possible, businesses can be negatively impacted by 90-day password change policies, causing delays in projects and losses in employee productivity when they get locked out during a password change and need to contact IT.
I just had an issue like this today, where because of certain circumstances, it took over a day to get a password reset, which caused work flow problems in an already busy office.
The solution: Use MS Online PowerShell to remove the password expiration policy.
Open Microsoft Online Services Module for Windows PowerShell from Start Menu
Type:
$msolcred = get-credential
Then enter an admin user/pass
Then type:
connect-msolservice -credential $msolcred
and you will be in.
To CHECK the current status:
Get-MSOLUser | Select UserPrincipalName, PasswordNeverExpires
To set passwords to NEVER EXPIRE:
Get-MSOLUser | Set-MsolUser -PasswordNeverExpires $true
