How to disable MFA in Office365

Modified on Tue, 6 Aug at 4:47 PM

We recommend you check your current security settings in the Microsoft Security Center to ensure your verification information is up-to-date before modifying your current settings related to multi-factor authentication.


Or you can get to the Additional security verification page by following these steps:

  1. Sign into the Microsoft 365 portal (office.com).
  2. Select your avatar in the top right, then select View account.
  3. Under Security info select Update info.




To Disable Multi-factor Authentication

  1. Sign into the Admin Microsoft 365 portal (admin.microsoft.com).

  2. Go to Users > Active Users
  3. Select the checkbox before the user's name
  4.  From the settings ribbon at the top, select Multi-factor Authentication


You should now see a list of your org users and the current status of forced MFA for each user. Disable it for any users you wish to stop the forced MFA process for. You may come back to change this at anytime by following the same steps.
