Enable password writeback for SSPR

With password writeback enabled in Microsoft Entra Connect, now configure Microsoft Entra SSPR for writeback. SSPR can be configured to writeback through Microsoft Entra Connect Sync agents and Microsoft Entra Connect provisioning agents (cloud sync). When you enable SSPR to use password writeback, users who change or reset their password have that updated password synchronized back to the on-premises AD DS environment as well.

To enable password writeback in SSPR, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as a Global Administrator.
2. Browse to Protection > Password reset, then choose On-premises integration.
3. Check the option for Write back passwords to your on-premises directory .
4. (optional) If Microsoft Entra Connect provisioning agents are detected, you can additionally check the option for Write back passwords with Microsoft Entra Connect cloud sync.
5. Check the option for Allow users to unlock accounts without resetting their password to Yes.
6. When ready, select Save.
