My concern is that MS will force modern authentication soon, and switch off basic authentication. I have confirmed that on two different PCs that are accessing the same mailbox with the same version of Outlook, which is the latest version from Microsoft included within my Office 365 package. So, it looks like the version of Outlook that I have won't play nice with Modern Authentication. I can then use Outlook to access my mailbox. Then, go into O365 Admin - Settings - Modern Authentication.Įnable Modern Authentication & allow basic authentication for 'Exchange web services', 'Autodiscover', 'MAPI over HTTP' and 'Offline Address Book'. Had to go into Azure AD, then switch off the security defaults (. It is easier to use PowerShell to manage users’ MFA in Microsoft 365 and build reports.OK, managed to switch off the forced modern authentication. Also, you cannot export the contents of the page to a TXT/CSV file. The report doesn’t show if a user completed the MFA setup and which second factor he has selected. You can enable, disable, reset, or configure MFA for each user using buttons in the Quick Steps panel on the right.

Enforced – a user will be forced to register a second MFA factor at the next logon.Enabled – MFA is enabled, but a user is still using standard authentication until they select the MFA method themselves.

Disabled – multi-factor authentication is disabled (by default, for all new users).You will see a list of all users in your tenant and the MFA status for each of them. Portal Azure -> Azure AD-> Users -> Per-user MFA.Microsoft 365 Admin Center -> Active Users -> Multi-factor authentication.You can access a web page with the MFA status for all users in two ways: We suppose that you manage MFA on a per-user basis and not with the Azure Conditional Access policies.
