This is how my conversation goes
Me: Why?
IT: It is more secure to share passwords over SMS / iMessage instead of teams/slack
I AM IN SHOCK and have a minor swelling when I banged my forehead on the table. Seriously
Me: That's not my question. My question is why am I not allowed to change my own password.

IT: Well, we do not have Azure WriteBack to AD so your password that gets set in M365 does not synchronize to AD Me: Build a Self Service Portal and an app to do the sync IT: That would highly insecure and risky. We may fail HIPAA audits Me: What is stopping you from getting Azure Writeback implemented? IT: Budget I hang up immediately to stop the IT person from hearing me scream. This is a security nightmare #security
