MS-102 Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) Licensing Practice Question
You need to configure self-service password reset (SSPR) for users in Microsoft Entra ID. Which license is required?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is that candidates may incorrectly assume Microsoft 365 E3 and F3 only include Entra ID Free, but in fact they include Entra ID P1, which supports SSPR. This can lead candidates to dismiss these options, but the correct answer is still the specific Entra ID P1 license.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Microsoft Entra ID P1
Self-service password reset (SSPR) requires a Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2 license. Both Microsoft 365 F3 and Microsoft 365 E3 include Microsoft Entra ID P1 licenses, which support SSPR. However, the question directly asks which license is required for SSPR, and the correct answer is the standalone Microsoft Entra ID P1 license. While F3 and E3 include this license, they are suite licenses and not the specific license component being asked for.
