passwordAuthenticationMethod resource type

Namespace: microsoft.graph

[!INCLUDE beta-disclaimer]

A representation of a user's password. For security, the password itself will never be returned in the object, but action can be taken to reset a password.

This is a derived type that inherits from the authenticationMethod resource type.

Methods

Method Return Type Description
List passwordAuthenticationMethod collection Read the properties and relationships of all of this user's passwordAuthenticationMethod objects.
Get passwordAuthenticationMethod Read the properties and relationships of a passwordAuthenticationMethod object.
Reset None Reset a user's password in the cloud and, if synced, on-premises.
Get long running operation None Get the status of the password reset long running operation if the reset operation returned a Location object.

Properties

createdDateTime DateTimeOffset The date and time when this password was last updated. This property is currently not populated. Read-only. The Timestamp type represents date and time information using ISO 8601 format and is always in UTC time. For example, midnight UTC on Jan 1, 2014 is 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z.

lastUsedDateTime DateTimeOffset The date and time the authentication method was last used by the user. Read-only. Optional. This optional value is null if the authentication method doesn't populate it. The timestamp type represents date and time information using ISO 8601 format and is always in UTC. For example, midnight UTC on Jan 1, 2014 is 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z. Inherited from authenticationMethod.
password String For security, the password is always returned as null from a LIST or GET operation.
