What is MFA?

Multifactor authentication (MFA) adds a layer of protection to the sign-in process. When accessing accounts or apps, users provide additional identity verification, such as scanning a fingerprint or entering a code received by phone.

MFA works in Microsoft Entra by requiring two or more of the following authentication methods:

• A password
• A trusted device that's not easily duplicated, such as a phone or hardware key
• Biometrics such as a fingerprint or face scan

The following are some Demo
