The actual data flow of the password hash synchronization process is similar to the synchronization of user data. However, passwords are synchronized more frequently than the standard directory synchronization window for other attributes. The password hash synchronization process runs every 2 minutes. You cannot modify the frequency of this process. When you synchronize a password, it overwrites the existing cloud password.

The first time you enable the password hash synchronization feature, it performs an initial synchronization of the passwords of all in-scope users. You cannot explicitly define a subset of user passwords that you want to synchronize. However, if there are multiple connectors, it is possible to disable password hash sync for some connectors but not others using the [Set-ADSyncAADPasswordSyncConfiguration](../../active-directory-domain-services/tutorial-configure-password-hash-sync.md) cmdlet.

The first time you enable the password hash synchronization feature, it performs an initial synchronization of the passwords of all in-scope users. [Staged Rollout](how-to-connect-staged-rollout.md) allows you to selectively test groups of users with cloud authentication capabilities like Azure AD Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Conditional Access, Identity Protection for leaked credentials, Identity Governance, and others, before cutting over your domains. You cannot explicitly define a subset of user passwords that you want to synchronize. However, if there are multiple connectors, it is possible to disable password hash sync for some connectors but not others using the [Set-ADSyncAADPasswordSyncConfiguration](../../active-directory-domain-services/tutorial-configure-password-hash-sync.md) cmdlet.

When you change an on-premises password, the updated password is synchronized, most often in a matter of minutes.
3333
The password hash synchronization feature automatically retries failed synchronization attempts. If an error occurs during an attempt to synchronize a password, an error is logged in your event viewer.

The synchronization of a password has no impact on the user who is currently signed in.
3636
Your current cloud service session is not immediately affected by a synchronized password change that occurs, while you are signed in, to a cloud service. However, when the cloud service requires you to authenticate again, you need to provide your new password.

A user must enter their corporate credentials a second time to authenticate to Azure AD, regardless of whether they're signed in to their corporate network. This pattern can be minimized, however, if the user selects the Keep me signed in (KMSI) check box at sign-in. This selection sets a session cookie that bypasses authentication for 180 days. KMSI behavior can be enabled or disabled by the Azure AD administrator. In addition, you can reduce password prompts by turning on [Seamless SSO](how-to-connect-sso.md), which automatically signs users in when they are on their corporate devices connected to your corporate network.

The default Azure AD password policy requires users to change their passwords every 90 days. If your policy in AD is also 90 days, the two policies should match. However, if the AD policy is not 90 days, you can update the Azure AD password policy to match by using the Set-MsolPasswordPolicy PowerShell command.
