How to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for Office 365 users using ADManager Plus.

Besides simplified Office 365 user, group, contact, and license management, ADManager Plus also empowers you to configure secure user login to Office 365, by setting up multi-factor authentication (MFA) for users. With ADManager Plus, you can easily enable, enforce, or disable MFA settings for Office 365 users in bulk using a CSV file that contains the necessary details. Supported MFA methods include text messages, phone calls, one-time passwords (OTPs), and in-app notifications.

  3. Click the Management option, under Azure Active Directory, click on User Management and click MFA Settings.

  4. Select from EnforceEnable, or Disable options under the MFA settings field. 

  5. If you're enforcing MFA:

    1. Select the MFA method to be used.

    2. Select the Default MFA Method

  6. Select the desired Office 365 tenant account

  7. Import a CSV file that contains the list of users or use the built-in search option to select the users for whom you want to configure MFA. Click Apply.
