We can't get rid of passwords, no matter what you read. They are essential for service accounts, dev accounts, and more. So, how do you secure them in AD and AAD? We will cover that and more. We will cover the basics and the complex. We will cover how to create a more-secure password and how attackers can crack passwords that are weak. You must understand that MFA can't be used everywhere, so passwords are essential in every environment!
