Fine-grained password policies (FGPPs) let you apply specific restrictions for password and account lockout policies to different users in a domain. FGPP only affects users created in Azure AD DS.

Fine-grained password policies (FGPPs) let you apply specific restrictions for password and account lockout policies to different users in a domain. FGPP only affects users within an Azure AD DS managed domain. Cloud users and domain users synchronized into the Azure AD DS managed domain from Azure AD are only affected by the password policies within Azure AD DS. Their accounts in Azure AD or an on-premises directory aren't impacted.
