Re: Microsoft MFA Opt-In

FWIW, using a different product and glossing over a few things.. For opt-in
MFA we created a small "Activate Multifactor Authentication" web app that
was advertised to non-MFA users via web portal. They click the tile, are
taken to a page that describes MFA, factor choices, links to documentation,
etc, then they click Activate (or Cancel) at the bottom. On activate the app
adds the user to an "MFA required" group and signs them out. On next sign in
they are required to use MFA, and the activate tile is no longer shown. No
end user way to opt back out.

 

Cheers.

You can try this approach. 

 

Create a public 0365 group, then use that group for MFA registration (Azure
Portal>Azure AD Identity Protection>MFA Registration) or however you are
assigning MFA. 

For end users, they can join by

                Outlook> Browser Groups > Select new group > click join

I'm looking for some advice on the best way to handle an opt-in period for
Microsoft MFA.  It looks to me that the only way would be to add folks to a
particular group as they request to opt-in.  It doesn't seem workable if
several hundred students or staff request to opt-in at once.  Hoping that
someone might have a better way.
