How can we improve the tenant admin features O365?

Send Office 365 Password Expiry Reminder Email Notification

Office 365 as of right now doesn't have a feature that enables users to get notified if their passwords are on the verge of getting expired. I know there's a notification that appears, but our organization needs the email notifications. If you guys can help us out it would really appreciated.


  • Mobile users need an email notification or pop-up.

  • Send multiple emails e.g. 2 weeks before expiry and 2 days before

Thank you to everyone taking the time to vote on this ask. Our security best practices recommend not making passwords expire and our focus is around this policy at the moment. You can read more about it in these two documents:

    Same! It should be an easy option to send an email notifying users to reset their password.

    Our field technicians use mobile devices, and desperately need to be notified by email when their email password is going to expire. They receive service calls via email and when the password expires without their knowledge, they don't know that they aren't getting service calls. We are a utility so it's extremely important that they are notified in plenty of time to change the password while they are in the office. If they are in the field and realize that the password has suddenly expired, they have to drive all the way back to the office to get their password changed. Please add a feature that allows users to be notified via email when their email password is about to expire.

    YES a feature missing since Windows7, that dialogue popup was gold in XP. This would be an excellent middleground.

    This would improve my life as admin dramatically
    thx a lot.
    To make it perfect, it shoul be implemented as a feature which can be turned on and off - if not on uswer level , domain level would be ok.

    Es necesario que el usuario reciba los avisos para que recuerde hacer el cambio y sea solo su responsabilidad el no hacerlo y luego tenga problemas para enviar y recibir correo

    Please add this. This would help a lot for us Administrators, as well as for a whole lot of users.

    100% this needs to be incorporated ASAP, we cannot rely on a buggy notification windows to inform users that their passwords are going to expire.

    Critical. Add this Tomorrow. It is crazy this if from June 2016 and it is still not added.
