Expected behavior when a
Microsoft Active Directory
password is changed

When a user changes their
Active Directory
password, it may take some time for the user's access token to expire before
BlackBerry Work
,
BlackBerry Notes
, or
BlackBerry Tasks
prompts the user to re-authenticate. The length of time before the token expires is configured in
Microsoft Entra ID
.
BlackBerry
has no control over access token expiry time. The default lifespan of an access token is one hour. If the previously used credentials are no longer valid when a user's access token expires, the user must authenticate again. If a user logs in with a password (for example, they are using Forms Based authentication), the authentication form is displayed and the user must enter their credentials again. If a user logs in without a password (for example, they are using
Kerberos
Constrained Delegation or Certificate Based Authentication), the user is automatically re-authenticated and does not have to enter their credentials again.
