Description
This article provides a step-by-step guide on setting up Multifactor Authentication (MFA) for Microsoft.
Setting up MFA will enhance our security as an organization. It requires users to identify themselves using more than just your username/email and password which are vulnerable to attacks and can be stolen by third parties.
