M365 ME-PWP-E3 Mappings

Password policies are applied to all user accounts that are created and managed directly in Microsoft Entra ID. There's a password policy that defines settings like the password complexity, length, or age. There's also a policy that defines acceptable characters and length for usernames.

Mappings

Capability ID Capability Description Category Value ATT&CK ID ATT&CK Name Notes
ME-PWP-E3 Password Policy protect significant T1586.003 Cloud Accounts
Comments
Cloud accounts should have complex and unique passwords across all systems on the network. Passwords and access keys should be rotated regularly. By default, an account is locked out after 10 unsuccessful sign-in attempts with the wrong password. Further incorrect sign-in attempts lock out the user in real time for increasing durations of time. License Requirements: Microsoft Entra ID Free, Microsoft Entra ID P1, or Microsoft Entra ID P2
