Multi Factor Authentication
Multi Factor Authentication
Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) provides an additional layer of security to Office 365 by requiring a second authentication method such as a text or phone call. Following the initial verification, users may be prompted when MFA identifies a high-risk activity such as: a new device, unfamiliar IP address, impossible travel, or compromised credentials.
