MIM password reset and user account unlock
MIM provides two password-related features that can help you to offer solutions in your on-premises environment:
- Password synchronization: Password synchronization to other repositories based on the AD password change or reset
- Password and account self-service: Separate portals to provide a self-service password reset and account-unlock capabilities
The following screenshot shows the web-based Password Reset and Account Unlock functionality:

In particular, if you have older Windows clients, such as Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1, in your environment, you can provide the Password Reset functionality in the Windows login UI. The Password Reset functionality in Azure only provides support for Windows 10 clients but delivers more capabilities in the verification options than the MIM solution.
Be aware that MIM 2016 isn't able to provide a password hash synchronization such as Azure AD Connect in a hybrid scenario.
