Hi,
For security reasons, I want to send an encrypted password in the PATCH /users/id forced password change api. Is there a way that Azure can decrypt it and store it ?

    Hi anonymous user • Thank you for reaching out.

    Graph API takes passwords as unicode strings with no other encoding.

    As the Graph API uses SSL and all the Graph Calls sent on the wire are encrypted by default, there is no option to encode/encrypt the passwords in the Graph calls that can be decrypted by Azure AD.
