We tackle these by making sure the reset went through, checking Azure AD Connect, and confirming each device uses the right sign-in setup. We keep password synchronization reliable by staying proactive and making sure users know how their actions affect access across Microsoft 365 and their devices. Even when sync works, cached passwords on devices can cause login failures. Windows, Outlook, and mobile apps often save passwords so users don’t have to keep typing them. If a password changes, those caches might still use the old one until you clear them out. The M365 sync establishes a synced dataset based on your M365 data and the filtering configuration of your sync.

If a password reset in Office 365 isn’t syncing, users usually get sign-in errors or find old credentials still hanging around on devices. We focus on restoring sync between Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), on-premises Active Directory, and user devices so everyone gets back in without headaches. If password sync is off or the server is in staging mode, passwords won’t update. We turn password sync back on by running the Entra Connect configuration wizard and picking Customize synchronization options. Check that your password change actually synced between your on-premises Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). If it didn’t, a few targeted checks usually restore access—no need to keep resetting your password over and over.
What to do when Office 365 password reset doesn’t sync across devices
I have multiple users experiencing sync errors with Outlook and office365. Another which is shown below, is a user opens a new message, or replies to one, and lets it sit for a while. When they go back to the message and press send they get an error that the message has been deleted. Ive repaired the OST and changed cache mode to only cache 1 year. With directory synchronization, you can continue work offline mode stuck to manage users and groups on-premises and synchronize additions, deletions, and changes to the cloud.

Start by disconnecting the device from Work or School Account settings, then reconnect with the user’s updated password. Cached credentials on Windows or mobile devices can block the update. We tell users to sign out and sign back in with the new password. Running the Azure AD Connect Health tool gives you alerts for sync errors and interruptions. Keeping Azure AD Connect up to date and testing sync regularly helps password resets flow like they’re supposed to.
Reviewing Device Sign-In Settings

The Summary sheet on the spreadsheet attachment of your sync summary includes an Updated User Count and User Limit. These figures will give you an impression of how far over the limit the account is. Sync failure alerts do not always include a full summary or modern authentication troubleshooting attachment, you can run a test sync to obtain this data.

You'll also receive a mail (to the alternate reset cached Exchange mode email and to your admin email) from Microsoft 365 that indicates your tenant has encountered directory synchronization errors. For details see Identify directory synchronization errors in Microsoft 365. We check that the Work or School Account in Windows Settings is active and linked to the right domain. If there’s a sync error, we disconnect and reconnect the account.
We also scan Event Viewer logs under Applications and Services Logs → Directory Synchronization for Event IDs like 650–657 (for sync activity).The system requires that users have a first name, last name and a valid email address that conforms with your domain lock if enabled.You can stop any accounts from being brought over by adding them to the sync deny list.Users I create within the Office 365 portal are fine, so I assume it is something to do with Azure AD Connect.
The mailbox says it migrated okay, but I find it can't be accessed, even by another user created in Office 365. When configuring Azure AD Connect, I chose the options for Pass-through Auth + Seamless SSO + Password Hash sync. A quick look at the Microsoft Entra Connect Health portal helps us see if sync tasks are current and the connection to Microsoft 365 is steady. You need to login to the correct microsoft account if you need to sync your computer and tablet. TrustedTech is dedicated to being a reliable resource for all software and technology support needs.
