How to deploy Multi Factor Authentication MFA and avoid the pitfalls!

This time it’s the turn of deploying multi factor authentication (MFA) and how to deploy it correctly. As well as an overview of the technology I also give a couple of demos as to exactly how it works along with some tips & tricks on how to avoid any potential flaws and misconfigurations. As alway I’ve time coded the session and it will will give you the opportunity to repeat and learn the specific parts of the video. As always any comments and questions are welcomed.

    Hi Andy, great content about Conditional Access. There are sometimes confusing discussions about MFA and conditional access. There ist still MFA around in Azure AD. But conditional access is the better way. For our customer we recommend MFA every time for high priviledged accounts like global admins etc. Or just implement PIM with MFA. Reduce your surface. PIM might be another topic for another video, for getting granular access with the least priviledges.

    MFA is definitely the way to go. However you may want to also take a look at Microsoft’s break glass administrator account option in Microsoft docs. It recommends the creation of a backdoor administrator account with a very complex password that you would store in a tin box somewhere. I know, it sounds crazy doesn’t it? Personally however, I love the idea of PIM with MFA And I believe this is a great combination. I hope this helps and thanks for your great question. All the best, Andy

    Andy, when you showed the Authentication Methods > User registration details, is that for MFA registration or for registration to one of the authentication methods enabled in Policies (also under Authentication Methods)? I ask because I just sent up a new tenant and none of those policies are enabled. However, I setup a CA policy to require MFA. I logged in with a test user for the first time and it made me register for MFA as expected. However, when I look in the User Registration details, there are no results. I just want to make sure I haven't misunderstood something. I'd also like to see who has currently registered for MFA and what method they chose if possible. Thanks!

    To successfully implement MF a I would recommend enabling the trusted locations feature. This will allow you to exclude any IP address ranges for branch offices and so on. The idea is that when the user signs in conditional access detects that they are in a trusted location and this will not prompt them. You can also adjust the conditional access policy so that it can remember signing for a number of days. However this works if you choose the all cloud apps not individual apps as I discussed in the video. I hope this helps and by all means please take a look at the reference documents at docs.microsoft.com they do some great articles on the multifactor authentication.

    Thank you for your videos. How can I make it so that external users are required to register MFA when they try to access files / folders shared from an internal users OneDrive? And that without manually addiing them to AAD. I can see that when I invite users to an Teams they are getting an guestaccount in the AAD, so then I can add a conditional policy, but not when they are shared files and folders from a users OneDrive.

    Hey Nora, that’s a great question. MFA will be mandatory for all Microsoft products pretty soon as well as Google and so on. So at some point in the chain I guess Tudor will have to MFA their way in. You can also enforce this with conditional access for guests coming in to your organisation. Thanks again, and all the best, Andy

    our external users frequently struggle when MFA is required on our side (the host) and on their side (guest employee using their org. MFA). double MFA set-up is confusing.

    There is a NPS extension for Azure MFA that you can install on your NPS server. This will allow you to use MFA with radius authentication. Be aware that if you install this and you are using NPS for enterprise WiFi auth then you will need to look at the documentation and add in a reg key with your WiFi IP addresses to allow them to bypass the MFA.

I even uninstalled Office and then reinstalled it but when I want to add the outlook account again, there is always the server connection problem that appears. I don't know what to do anymore.
