Azure Active Directory Account Lockout Threshold

Is there a way to change the Account Lockout Threshold for an account in Azure Active Directory? This would normally be a Group Policy change however I understand Azure does not support Group Policy. Azure Active Directory seems to lock users out after 10 failed attempts however I have a requirement to lock them out after 6.

The documentation I could find on this (here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj943764.aspx) states that:

After 10 unsuccessful logon attempts (wrong password), the user will need to solve a CAPTCHA dialog as part of logon.

After a further 10 unsuccessful logon attempts (wrong password) and correct solving of the CAPTCHA dialog, the user will be locked out for a time period. Further incorrect passwords will result in an exponential increase in the lockout time period.

But doesn't state if this can be changed.

Seems like this may be an option now days if you pay for Azure AD Premium. More info here.
