Expected behavior when an 
Microsoft Active Directory
 password is changed

When a user changes their 
Active Directory
 password, it may take some time for the user's access token to expire before 
BlackBerry Work
BlackBerry Notes
BlackBerry Tasks
, or 
BlackBerry Connect
 prompts the user to re-authenticate. The length of time before the token expires is configured in 
Microsoft Azure
BlackBerry
 has no control over access token expiry time. The default lifespan of an access token is one hour. If the previously used credentials are no longer valid when a user's access token expires, the user must authenticate again. If a user logs in with a password (for example, they are using Forms Based authentication), the authentication form is displayed and the user must enter their credentials again. If a user logs in without a password (for example, they are using 
Kerberos
 Constrained Delegation or Certificate Based Authentication), the user is automatically re-authenticated and does not have to enter their credentials again.
