Frequently asked questions

What is Microsoft Multi-Factor Authentication and how does it enhance account security?
Microsoft Multi-Factor Authentication requires an additional verification factor beyond a password, such as a one-time code, push approval, hardware token, or biometric, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Which authentication methods does Microsoft MFA commonly support?
Common methods include authenticator apps (push or time-based codes), SMS or voice one-time passcodes, hardware tokens, and platform-managed biometric authentication where devices support it.
How is Microsoft MFA enforced for users, applications, or resources?
Administrators enforce MFA by applying authentication policies or access rules to users, groups, applications, or specific conditions, requiring additional verification before granting access.
What operational practices help ensure reliable MFA deployment and user adoption?
Use phased rollouts, require users to register multiple verification methods, provide user guidance on authentication options, and monitor authentication logs for issues or abnormal patterns.
