Explanation
In Google Admin Console, configuring a password strength policy (minimum length, complexity) only applies to passwords set after the policy was configured. Existing user accounts with non-compliant passwords continue to work until their password is changed. To retroactively enforce the new policy, an administrator must select 'Enforce password policy at next sign-in' in the organization's password management settings. This forces all users whose current passwords do not meet the policy to create a new compliant password on their next login attempt. Option A resets individual passwords manually, which is impractical at scale. Option C sets 'Enforce strong password' per user, which is similarly manual and doesn't enforce minimum length. Option D enables 'Enforce strong password' at the org level but does not trigger immediate re-enrollment of existing non-compliant passwords.
