MFA — Multi-Factor Authentication

An authentication method that requires more than one factor (password + phone, password + hardware token, biometric + password) before granting access. Enforced via Entra ID Security Defaults (free) or Conditional Access (P1+).

Microsoft now enforces MFA by default for new tenants; for existing tenants Microsoft is rolling out mandatory MFA for admin portals in phases through 2026.
