Transcript

Leveraging Azure MFA in the cloud, you can manage the user and device settings. For example, as an administrator, you can require users to re-provide their contact methods, you can delete app passwords, and you can require MFA on all trusted devices. Requiring the user to re-provide their contact methods forces the user to complete the MFA registration process again. Non-browser apps that the user has access to will continue to work however, if the user has app passwords for them. That said, you can delete a user's app passwords by also checking the box next to delete all existing app passwords generated by the selected users. The option to delete a user's existing app passwords allows the admin to delete all of the app passwords that a user has created. Any non-browser apps that were associated with the deleted app passwords will stop working until a new app password is created. When using Azure Multi-factor Authentication, you can allow your users to mark devices as trusted. What this does is permit users to opt out of two-step verification for a set number of days on their regular devices. However, in the event that an account is compromised, or if a trusted device gets lost, you need to be able to remove the trusted status and require two-step verification again. Checking the box for restore Multi-Factor Authentication on all remembered devices allows you to do this. When you restore MFA authentication on all remembered devices for a user, the user will be challenged to perform two-step verification the next time they sign in, regardless of whether or not they chose to mark their device as trusted. In the next demonstration, we'll walk through the process of managing Multi-Factor Authentication for our users.
