Updated August 4, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [What and Why] You’re receiving this message because your organization uses Microsoft Entra ID Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR). Currently, SSPR may allow users to verify their identity using contact information stored in directory attributes such as mobile phone, business phone, and alternate email, even if those values were never explicitly registered as authentication methods. To strengthen identity security, SSPR will require explicitly registered authentication methods for verification. This change is part of Microsoft’s Secure Future Initiative and ensures password reset verification is based on trusted, user-validated methods rather than directory-sourced attributes. [Rollout Schedule] October 5, 2026: SSPR registration campaign begins prompting users and administrators to register authentication

Updated July 27, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] Recap without saving transcript provides an alternative now for Copilot users to generate a meeting summary using live meeting context, in case where saving a meeting transcript or recording is not preferred or allowed. This capability is intended for scenarios where organizations want AI‑generated recaps but have policies that limit or prohibit the retention of transcripts or recordings. When disabled, no AI recap is generated. Existing Copilot licensing and tenant‑level AI controls continue to apply. This feature will be available to users with an M365 Copilot (Premium) license across platforms, including desktop (Windows and Mac), web, and mobile. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 558286. [When this will happen:] Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early Octo
Updated July 15, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] Microsoft is retiring the -Credential parameter used when connecting to Exchange Online PowerShell. Starting with module versions released in December 2026 and later, the -Credential parameter will be removed from both Connect-ExchangeOnline and Connect-IppsSession cmdlets. Organizations using this parameter in automation scripts must migrate to a supported authentication method before that date. This change improves security by moving away from legacy authentication methods that do not support modern protections such as multifactor authentication (MFA). [When this will happen:] The -Credential parameter will be removed from Connect-ExchangeOnline and Connect-IppsSession cmdlets in Exchange Online PowerShell module versions released beginning end of year 2026 (previously July). A separate ser
Updated July 14, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] Microsoft Purview is introducing Classifier Simulation Mode, the first phase of the broader Classifier Health Monitoring Platform. This new capability allows admins to test and validate custom classifiers on production data before publishing. Simulation Mode enables admins to optimize classifier logic before deployment, helping in reducing false positives, scanning latency, and noisy matches. Admins will access simulation controls and classifier health insights directly in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal, making it easier to monitor and improve classifier performance in one centralized location. This message is associated with Roadmap ID 523201. [When this will happen:] Public Preview: Rollout begins mid-October 2026 (previously late June), completes by early November 2026 (previously
Updated July 7, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] We are retiring support for legacy Transport Layer Security (TLS) versions for POP3 and IMAP4 connections to Exchange Online. This change improves security and aligns with current industry standards. TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 are no longer considered secure. Most modern email clients already use TLS 1.2 or later. [When this will happen] Rollout start: August 1, 2026 Rollout end: December 31, 2026 The rollout will occur gradually worldwide. [How this affects your organization] Who is affected Microsoft 365 tenants using POP3 or IMAP4 with Exchange Online Admins managing email clients, applications, or devices that use POP or IMAP What will happen POP3 and IMAP4 connections will require TLS 1.2 or later.

Updated July 6, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] Today, admins must manually review trust and compliance information for Teams apps and agents to determine whether they meet their organization’s security, privacy, and compliance requirements. To make this process more scalable and consistent, Teams will introduce a centralized evaluation experience. Admins will define their organization’s trust requirements once, and the system will generate a score and detailed evaluation report for each app and agent based on those requirements. This will help organizations make faster, more consistent approval decisions. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 532720. [When this will happen] Targeted release/Preview: We will begin rollout in late February 2026 and expect to complete by the end of March 2026. General Availability (Worldwid
