Additional Information:
- If the user doesn’t know how to reset their password using the Portal, we recommend that you direct them to the Changing Your Password section of the Portal User Guide where they will find the information they need.

Users should wait for 2-3 minutes before signing in after a password reset as it may take 2-3 minutes to synchronise between On-Premise and Exchange Online.
