it is crucial to activate multi-factor authentication for all users.

00:00:10

Here is a step by step guide to enforcing MFA activation as an administrator.

00:00:16

Open your web browser and log into Microsoft 365 using your admin account.

00:00:24

Once logged in,

00:00:25

click on the admin icon in the navigation bar on the right to access the admin center.

00:00:32

In the users section,

00:00:34

select active users to see all the members of your organization.

00:00:39

In the top menus,

00:00:40

click on multi-factor authentication

00:00:43

to access the MFA settings.

00:00:46

Type the name of the user you want to enforce MFA for in the search bar.

00:00:51

Check the box next to the user's name,

00:00:53

then activate MFA in the available menus.

00:00:57

In the Service settings tab,

00:00:59

you can choose the sign-in methods for users via phone call,

00:01:03

mobile app notification,

00:01:04

etc.

00:01:05

You can also define a period

00:01:07

from 1 to 365 days

00:01:10

during which the authentication will be remembered on trusted devices,

00:01:14

preventing users from needing to use MFA at each sign-in.

00:01:18

As an admin,

00:01:19

you have the ability to manually reset MFA settings set by users.

00:01:23

To do this,

00:01:24

return to the user section.

00:01:26

Search for the user you want to configure.

then click on user MFA settings.

00:01:35

Select restore multi-factor authentication on all remembered devices.

00:01:39

Once the configuration is saved,

00:01:41

the user will need to follow the previously

00:01:43

described steps to set up the Microsoft Authenticator app

00:01:47

and log into their account with MFA.

00:01:50

By enforcing the activation of multi-factor authentication for your users,

00:01:54

you significantly enhance the security of your organization's accounts.

00:01:58

Even if a password is compromised,

00:02:00

the requirement for additional verification

00:02:03

protects your sensitive information.
