Microsoft has announced that they will be implementing a new security measure for Azure customers by making multi-factor authentication (MFA) mandatory starting in July 2024. This decision is part of Microsoft’s efforts to enhance the security of its cloud platform and better protect customer data. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to verify their identity through multiple methods, such as a password and a text message code, before accessing their accounts. This new requirement will help prevent unauthorized access and reduce the risk of cyber attacks on Azure accounts. Microsoft is urging customers to start preparing for this change ahead of the deadline to ensure a smooth transition and continued protection of their data.
