Generally Available: Enable multifactor authentication for your tenant by 15 October 2024

Published date: Aug 15, 2024

Starting 15 October 2024, we will require users to use multifactor authentication (MFA) to sign into the Azure portal, Microsoft Entra admin center, and Intune admin center. To ensure your users can maintain access, you’ll need to enable MFA by 15 October 2024. 

If you can’t enable MFA for your users by that date, you’ll need to apply to postpone the enforcement date. If you don’t enable MFA for your tenant or apply to postpone by 15 October 2024, your users will be required to set up MFA for the Azure portal, Microsoft Entra admin center, or Intune admin center.

Action required

  • To identify which users are signing into Azure with and without MFA, refer to our documentation.
  • To ensure your users can access the Azure portal, Microsoft Entra admin center, and Intune admin center, enable MFA for your users by 15 October 2024.
  • If you can’t enable MFA by 15 October 2024, apply to postpone the enforcement date.
