Windows 10: "Register multi factor authentication" for 1 user isn't working. How can I fix this?

Dear all,* We have a user all running on Windows 10 for which every user who is given an individual user id is given a license for the web version of M365* We force 2FA insisting on a 2FA smartphone app as the minimum 2nd factor strength* The 2FA smartphone app we encourage users to embrace is MS Authenticator although on the occasions when the user already uses another 2FA smartphone app such as Authy or Duo, we are OK to go with that* Since the re-architectured version of Edge built on Chromium was released in 2020, we ditched Chrome meaning our tech base has further Microsoft centricity

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.

 

log to a computer using multi-factor authentication server

I'm looking for a way to implement two factor authentication with the Azure multi-factor authentication sever. I have a server installed on premises that applies 2FA to a VPN connection that is working properly. Is there a way to implement this service
for when users log to their computers on site? this is, authenticate a user when he sits in front of his computer and logs in.
