Problem after Active Directory (Windows/entra) Password change

When I changed my ActiveDirectory password on the MacOS - everything worked. OK, I had to give the new password on serveral Online Services from Microsoft365 and I've to restart my Teams and so on... But one problem on MacOS keept me a little bit stocked.

The passwords on MacOS are stored in the Keychain Access Tool and is encrypted with the AD password and this is not changed automatically - so you have to change it manually:

Type into a Terminal:

security set-keychain-password

And you have to enter the old and then the new Active Directory Password.
