The last thing you want on a Saturday morning is to find that Entra ID has blocked your account because of leaked credentials. Even though the account is protected by MFA, it’s still important to remediate the event by changing its password. A check against some beta sign-in metrics shows that no one has tried to use the leaked credentials, so that’s good.

In most situations, it’s a good idea to enable Azure AD accounts for SSPR (self-service password reset) to avoid the need for administrators to update user accounts when things go wrong. This article explains how to report accounts that are not yet set up to use SSPR. It’s a check that should happen regularly, perhaps with the aid of Azure Automation.
