Multi-factor authentication on Windows 10

Hi Varunn,

Yes there are ways for the multifactor authentication being set. This will require some working on the domain controller. Here is a link of a way Microsoft suggest multifactor authentication:

You can also use the Windows Bitlocker tool to encrypt the disk and since you enter a fixed password it's basically multifactor authentication. One password to decrypt the disk and then the password for the domain.

Let us know if you need anything else. We are here to help you out.

 

Microsoft Account set to use 2 Factor Authentication & Authentication Phone App but it doesn't prompt for authentication when signing in to my Windows 10 PC locally or remotely (via RDP).

If you activated the two-step verification for your Microsoft account, you should be prompted to enter the security code whenever you log in your credentials. To further troubleshoot this issue, we suggest checking the methods found in this

article.

Once on the page, scroll down to the column that says I am not receiving a text or call on my phone and follow the steps provided.
