title: How to disable Strong Passwords on Azure SQL
body: <p>We are in the process of moving a database from on-premise into Azure SQL. The software that will consume this database has a database username and password hard coded, so we are unable to change it. Unfortunately the hard coded password does not meet the password policy for Azure SQL.</p>
  
  <p>I have looked around and found the <code>CHECK_POICY</code> option I can add to the query, however I receive an error telling me that option is not supported in this version of SQL.</p>
  
  <p><code>Keyword or statement option 'check_policy' is not supported in this version of SQL Server.</code></p>
  
  <p>I am also unable to find any documentation that specifically says "You cannot change the password policy in Azure SQL" - Does anyone know how I can either disable the password policy, or find documentation stating that we are unable to do so?</p>
