Microsoft will require multi-factor authentication (MFA) for Entra, Azure, and Intune admin portal sign-ins starting in October, with an option to postpone enforcement per tenant until April 15, 2025; MFA enforcement will expand in early 2025 to Azure CLI, PowerShell, mobile, and IaC tools. Microsoft urges immediate adoption, provides reporting options to track MFA registration, and cites evidence that MFA substantially reduces account takeover risk.
