Ensure 'Number of days before users are asked to reconfirm their authentication information' is not set to '0'

Ensure that the number of days before users are asked to re-confirm their authentication information is not set to 0.

Rationale

This setting is necessary if you have set up the Require users to register when signing in option. If authentication re-confirmation is disabled, registered users will never be prompted to re-confirm their existing authentication information. If a user's authentication information changes, such as a phone number or email, then the password reset information for that user reverts to the previously registered authentication information.

Impact

Users will be prompted for their multifactor authentication at the duration set here.

Default Value

By default, the Number of days before users are asked to re-confirm their authentication information is set to 180 days.

Manual Audit

There is no customer-facing API available to check the Password Reset Policy. Please refer to the Remediation tab. After you ensure the setting is correctly set, exempt the corresponding asset.

If you need this checked automatically (it would make sense if you have multiple Entra ID tenants with multiple administrators who might change settings) and are willing to provide additional permissions, reach out to your Cyscale contact person.
