Microsoft announced that its 365 customers will now have access to the multi-factor authentication (MFA) feature in Outlook. The company’s primary aim is to provide better security for Office 365, which is used by millions of people worldwide. With the introduction of MFA in Outlook for Microsoft 365 subscribers, users can now protect their sensitive information when accessing email, calendars, and contacts.
How does MFA work in Outlook for Microsoft 365 subscribers?
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security protocol that adds an extra layer of protection to your account. Users will be notified and must approve any attempt to access their account from a new device. They can also receive a code to be entered as part of the login process. This added layer of security protects users from unauthorized access to their email, calendars, and contacts.
How can Microsoft 365 users enable MFA in Outlook?
To enable MFA in Outlook, Microsoft 365 users can follow these simple steps:
1. Go to the Office 365 Security & Compliance Center and sign in.
2. Choose “More resources” from the menu and select “Multifactor Authentication.”
3. Next, choose the “Enable” button to enable MFA for your organization.
4. Select “Service settings” to configure MFA for your users, and choose “Outlook Web Access” from the apps list.
What are the benefits of MFA in Outlook for Microsoft 365 subscribers?
Enabling MFA in Outlook provides multiple benefits, including increased security for your data and protection against identity theft. It also enables users to access their email, contacts, and calendars on the go, with the peace of mind of knowing their accounts are protected. The added layer of authentication can prevent unauthorized access to accounts by hackers and cyber-criminals.
In conclusion, Microsoft has made a significant move towards increasing security and protecting its users’ sensitive information by enabling MFA in Outlook for Microsoft 365 subscribers. By enabling MFA, users can rest assured that their accounts are protected against unauthorized access, identity theft, and other cyber threats.
