In a domain with Active Directory users should be given a password policy e.g. change password every 15 days or the password must contain a minimum of 8 characters etc. In the Group Policy Editor it is very simple to apply such policies. And in certain situations where convenience is a priority it is also possible to ensure that the password policy does not irritate e.g. users can be allowed to use the same password again or the password complexity can be relaxed a bit. The following tutorial video shows how such is done in an Active Directory enabled domain. These policies then are applied to Windows 10, 8.1 8 etc. clients.
