Microsoft has enforced multifactor authentication (MFA) for Azure Portal sign-ins across all tenants since March 2025. This enforcement is part of Microsoft's ongoing efforts to enhance security and protect users' accounts against cyber threats. The rollout began in May 2024, with warnings issued to Entra global admins to enable MFA by October 2024. Microsoft plans to extend MFA enforcement to Azure CLI, PowerShell, SDKs, and APIs in October 2025. Microsoft's study shows that MFA significantly reduces the likelihood of account compromise, even with stolen credentials.
