Take action: Enbale MFA for your tenant before 15th October 2024

From 15th October 2024, Microsoft will require admins to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) when signing into Microsoft Azure portal, Microsoft Entra admin centre, and Microsoft Intune admin centre. This requirement will also apply to any services accessed through the Intune admin centre, such as Windows 365 Cloud PC. To take advantage of the extra layer of protection MFA offers, we recommend enabling MFA as soon as possible.
