It would be insane to let non admin change settings like this.

I'm talking about letting the user change their own password. I'm honestly not sure how that would be technically accomplished in this situation without having to contact IT each time. It seems like something Microsoft should provide a no-frills GUI for that doesn't require elevation.

Yeah, that could be neat as long as they still add a recovery key to the AD or somewhere else. A problem with that is that the users will likely choose shit passwords. That could be mitigated with password rules but still

I suspect Microsoft wants you to use TMP or physical keys instead of passwords.
