We are a non-profit org so one of the main draws of O365 is that is almost free. As far as I can see if we need to provide our off-domain users with the ability to change their passwords we will need to spec out some further investment (MFIM or SysOp tools or somesuch) to make this work.

I think, and happy to be proved wrong, that with Azure Active Directory Sync as it has a write back option now: Self-service password reset in Azure AD: how to customize password reset to meet your needs Microsoft Learn may work for you
You can also sync only a certain subset of users with DirSync, then for the other users leave their accounts as Office 365 cloud-only accounts. They would then have 2 passwords in case they ever do come on-prem with their computer, but they could manage the 365 password from anywhere.

We are trying to setup a self-service password reset for our users residing in on-premises AD but we do not have Exchange online. Is it even possible for us to setup SSPR with Azure AD Connect without involving Exchange at all?
Hi, Exchange is not relevant to SSPR. As long as you are syncing your on-premises AD to Azure AD with Azure AD Connect, and you have licences as per -us/azure/active-directory/authentication/concept-sspr-licensing then you should be good to go with this feature.
Yes, it is possible. If you want your on-prem users to be able to reset their passwords via the SSPR (i.e. Office 365 synchronises back to the on-prem AD ) then you will need an Azure P1 licence for that user.
The SSPR included in the Free version of Azure AD does not write-back to on-prem, it only changes the password in 365 - the next time AzureAD synchronises that password is changed back to the AD password.
Thanks for the reply!@HidMov Here is the situation, We do have P1 licenses for users but when I verify our custom domain in Azure from, let's say, xyz.onmicrosoft.com to xyz.com so that users can login with their current email addresses this poses issue with Microsoft Teams stop treating "xyz.com" as external address and will not allow invite to be sent for the meeting. Is there a workaround for this? So that Office 365 do not treat xyz.com as internal? Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Hi, if you add your xyz.com domain into your M365 tenant, which it seems you have, then this is going to be considered as an internal / accepted domain within your environment. I am curious to understand why you would wish it to be considered external?
Hi @PeterRising, Let me try explain without confusing you, Since we do not have Exchange Online and do not wish to involve our current on-prem Exchange to any of Office 365 services, we want our users to still use Microsoft Teams for video conferencing purposes. Only handful of employees are currently using the Teams app and would like other employees within the organization to be invited for meetings. Now, currently users using Teams app has "xyz.onmicrosoft.com" email and password setup by Office 365 but If I add my custom domain "xyz.com" for SSPR then it poses two issues; In order to send the invite out to internal employees Teams cannot see "xyz.com" as external to have the "Invite" option available. Teams searches for email addresses for let's say a...@xyz.com and b...@xyz.com in it's own address book which is not there because Exchange online is not integrated. If I do sync a...@xyz.com and b...@xyz.com from our on-prem AD then Teams is not able to send an email invite to those above users since they do not have emails setup with Exchange online. If we do add an email for a...@xyz.com in the Azure AD then it posses another issue with email structure because now we have two emails for the same user - a...@xyz.com created by Exchange online and their own on-prem a...@xyz.com which is more confusing on which one to use.
OK, I see where you are coming from. My suggestion to you here would be to configure Hybrid Coexistence between you on-premises Exchange and Exchange Online. This way, you can add your custom domain into O365 and still use Teams with full functionality with your on-premises mailboxes.
Passwordless Authentication is a secure authentication method that allows you to login to Office 365 services using the Authenticator app. Detailed instructions for setting up your account with passwordless authentication are available here.
Unlock your account if your account has been locked out and you remember your password. Follow the instructions and select the option "I know my password, but still can't sign in." The Self Service Password Reset (SSPR) enrollment must be completed first before using this option.

Loyola University of Chicago moved from our current self-service password management tool to Self Service Password Reset (SSPR). The next time you change or reset your password you will see a new, streamlined tool that uses your Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) preferences (text message, Microsoft Authenticator app, or mobile phone) to confirm your identity. Even if you forget your password, you can follow the prompts to reset it securely.
The first time you log into Microsoft 365, you will be prompted to set up your account security (Multi-Factor Authentication or MFA). Once this is complete, you will be able to reset your password with a two-step verification process.
The Division of Information Technology has made it easier than ever for you to recover your password if you forget it.

You will be able to add a safe and secure two-step verification method for your online credentials from a range of authentication options (such as phone call, text message, or alternate email). It is recommended that you set up as many methods as you can. This gives you flexibility when one of the methods isn't available.
Recommendation: We strongly recommend that you set up self-service password reset. This way you don't have to manually reset passwords for your users. To learn how, see Let users reset their own passwords in Office 365.
