Clear explanation of the MFA announcement. Thanks John 👍

[@NTFAQGuy]

Very welcome

[@MrFirsito]

congrats Microsoft, accomplish to yet again making things more complicated edit: thanks for the video! great way to explain a rather obscure change

[@MarkGibson85]

Great video, thanks as always John. For the KQL, I had to change: | where AuthenticationDetails has "SingleFactorAuthentication" to | where AuthenticationRequirement has "SingleFactorAuthentication" i.e. SigninLogs | where UserDisplayName != "" | where UserPrincipalName != "" | where (AppDisplayName == "Azure Portal" or AppDisplayName == "Microsoft Azure PowerShell" or AppDisplayName == "Microsoft Azure CLI") | where AuthenticationRequirement has "SingleFactorAuthentication" | project TimeGenerated, UserDisplayName, UserPrincipalName, AppDisplayName, AuthenticationDetails

[@adamr4654]

Fantastic stuff John thanks for the reply in MS blog post, you have provided more clarity than Microsoft!

[@renatojrestorque6150]

Thank you, Chief. This is a great update. 👍👍😉

[@NTFAQGuy]

You bet

[@NZScottie]

Nice. I’ll be better prepared with this understanding if something unexpected happens. Thanks John.

[@VirtualPackets]

Thanks for the clarification John, makes perfect sense in today world. Already doing all of this :-) so not going to have much of an impact, will keep an eye out for announcement in the portal.

[@ajayshankasringh]

Easy to understand, sir, you are a Great teacher 🙏

[@NTFAQGuy]

So nice of you. Thanks!

[@jakeindalecio]

Our problem is with Entra SSPR not supporting the external preview. Moving away from the CA custom control for Duo, any verification methods set up for SSPR show up in the list with Duo meaning a user can bypass our policy to use Duo by choosing a voice call or SMS for example. Our MSFT rep is looking into it but hasn't found anything so far.

You are really a good Teacher,.Love from India 🎉

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thank you!

[@tony6626]

Great video John. Only problem i see here is with our break glass accounts - only accounts excluded from MFA as it stands anyway.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Yep talked about those in the video.

[@butztanx]

Fantastic content, thanks for taking the time to do these videos. They're very much appreciated.

[@NTFAQGuy]

My pleasure!

[@jonsmallwood1657]

Thanks John. I appreciate your breakdown of their announcement.

[@NTFAQGuy]

You bet

[@dgthekiller]

I missed that announcement, great video! I find Entra very confusing when it comes to licensing. Especially in mixed entra license environments. It is quite hard to stay license compliant. I also wish they would add a entra p2 license step up from p1. Especially those for business premium users.

[@Lethal83]

Great video John. Made it very clear and easy to follow as always.

[@lukebrennan5780]

Thanks, Mr NTFAQ. (time flies!). This should have come from the PM's. heh! Really appreciate this.

[@NTFAQGuy]

lol. Hey stranger :)

[@AHumanMale]

"That's wrong... don't do that." Good advice! 🙂

[@jonkilner8816]

So, Microsoft are releasing a feature in July that affects authentication, you can't opt out of, with a half baked attempt at communicating the change in a blog post.....and they're still gathering feedback. I know you say it won't happen all at once. But what if my tenant is among the first batch to have the change applied. Then it's happening in just over a month and we' don't know the full scope of the change. Seems to me like something's happening in the background and there's a big rush to get this change out. We've only recently had the Microsoft managed conditional access policy rollout, which had better communication and planning wrapped around it, so you could measure its impact and deploy your own version of the policy if required

[@GavinPeters]

I'm surprised to hear that the break glass fido recommendation is 2 years old. 6 months ago, I set up PIM with BG accounts and ms documentation definitely still had the two safes method.

[@twistedaus]

Great video as usual. Microsoft have really sh*t the bed with this one....

[@yulaw3289]

enjoying this video for today learning, thanks a lot!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@suneed1989]

Thank you - very well explained 👍

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GavinPeters]

Hmm, i wonder how this affects resources. I need to check our Teams-room set up as we use CA to remove mfa need. I'm not sure if they're set up a user accounts or not.

[@GavinPeters]

Oops, nevermind, I just realised that we don't manage anything using the room logins. This does not affect our resources, as per John's teachings.

[@LifeisbetterwithaMalinois]

Thxs sir John😊

[@NTFAQGuy]

Welcome 😊

[@jlou65535]

Clear explanation as usual !

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jadan2000]

Thanks for this. Currently if you turn on MFA in Azure, it also is turned on for o365, since its the same identity management. Does that change with this new feature?

[@NTFAQGuy]

MFA requirement is based on the target service. Just because a user has setup MFA does not mean its now required for everything. This only applies to those services I talk about in the video.

[@AzureCloudCowboy]

Awesome as always.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@GiovanniOrlandoi7]

Thanks for the video!

[@NTFAQGuy]

You're welcome!

[@timolean5846]

So if you create service accounts as users to avoid mfa you’ll want to switch to using service principals? Currently we just exclude them from our CA policies.

[@NTFAQGuy]

You shouldn't be creating user accounts for service accounts. Yes, use service principal.

[@tajammulrizvi9504]

Really useful Session.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad to hear that!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thanks

[@jadan2000]

Also. If I'm using Conditional access policies for MFA and I have users in the exceptions list, will they now be required to use MFA?

[@NTFAQGuy]

I address this in the video. Yes, its cumulative.

[@jadan2000]

@NTFAQGuy I must have missed that part. Thank you. Wow that's a bit painful.

[@DavidWorthington]

It’s a good thing. “Who moved my cheese” shouldn’t apply here.

It was not the most clearly written post of all time. Especially if you are not an EntraID junkie…. 🤣🤣
