SOLVED: How to Disable Password Expiry and Password Complexity Rules in Office 365
If you want to stop Office 365 passwords from expiring and / or you want to eliminate the password complexity requirements you must use PowerShell as these changes are not permitted through the Office 365 admin pages
Download the Office 365 Online Services Module 32bit or 64bit and install it
Start the module (click the START BUTTON and type MODULE… you’ll see it!) and be sure to right click and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR
Connect to your Office 365 using: Connect-MsolService
Enter your Office365 username and password at the prompt
Set all Office365 passwords to never expire using: Get-MsolUser | Set-MsolUser -PasswordNeverExpires $True
Set all Office 365 passwords to not have any complexity requirements: Get-MsolUser | Set-MsolUser -StrongPasswordRequired $false

If I eliminate the CR, will it then allow more than 16 characters and spaces?
I have not tested this. Please do test it and let us know how it worked out :)
