A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'PasswordPolicies' in Powershell - azure

Question

I was trying to set the password for an Azure user to not expire forever. In the process I tried below commands
Get-AzADUser -ObjectId <valid Azure user> | Select-Object UserprincipalName,#{
>> N="PasswordNeverExpires";E={$_.PasswordPolicies -contains "DisablePasswordExpiration"}
>> }
UserPrincipalName PasswordNeverExpires
----------------- --------------------
<valid Azure user> False
To set PasswordNeverExpires to True, I executed below command
Set-AzADUser -ObjectId <valid Azure user> -PasswordPolicies DisablePasswordExpiration
But it throws an error as below:
Update-AzADUser : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'PasswordPolicies'.
At line:1 char:51
+ ... ADUser -ObjectId <valid Azure user> -PasswordPolicies Disable ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Update-AzADUser], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.Azure.Commands.ActiveDirectory.UpdateAzureADUserCommand
Can someone help me on this issue please.
Thanks,

Az Powershell doesn't provide the setting password policy feature.
Use Azure AD Powershell instead.
Set-AzureADUser -ObjectId <user ID> -PasswordPolicies DisablePasswordExpiration
If you are concerned about having to log in to Azure AD Powershell again, you can connect a session using an existing token associated with the active azure context.
For example:
# login
Connect-AzAccount -Tenant {your tenant}
# perform other Azure operations...
$currentAzureContext = Get-AzContext
$tenantId = $currentAzureContext.Tenant.Id
$accountId = $currentAzureContext.Account.Id
Connect-AzureAD -TenantId $tenantId -AccountId $accountId
Then you can run Set-AzureADUser cmd.
