password rotation
About this tag
Password rotation is a critical security practice for Windows environments, particularly for local administrator accounts that are frequent targets for attackers. Windows LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution) automates this process by generating unique, random passwords per device and rotating them on a schedule, storing the current password securely in Azure AD, Entra ID, or on-prem Active Directory. This eliminates the risk of static or reused passwords across multiple PCs. Step-by-step guides cover setting up LAPS on Windows 10/11 for enterprises, modernizing local admin password security to address vulnerabilities in IT landscapes. Password rotation through LAPS is essential for maintaining robust security in Windows networks.
