Multi-Factor Authentication in Microsoft 365

You can secure your school account in Microsoft 365 using multi-factor authentication. Setup is easy:

  1. Set up one or more multi-factor authentication methods in Microsoft 365.

  2. Verify by logging in to InSIS with a Microsoft 365 account.

  3. Join the team in MS Teams mandatory-MFA using the code 8zi2hcg.

Multi-factor authentication in Microsoft 365 offers several authentication methods. Some are based on the second factor over entering a login name and password – you usually need a mobile phone. There are also two methods for logging in without entering a password (passwordless) – just enter the PIN for the security key or log in using a fingerprint/face scan on a paired computer with Windows 10/11.

You can also use multi-factor authentication in Microsoft 365 for simplified login to the study system. Some users are required to use multi-factor authentication in Microsoft 365 – usually crucial system administrators.

We plan to enforce multifactor authentication when risk logging in to Microsoft 365:

  • unusual way (you log in in Prague and within the hour you have another login in Munich, both from IP addresses for home users),
  • unknown login properties (when logged in, the browser passed meaningless data about itself, the browser is not updated, login from the application, …),
  • use of anonymous IP addresses (login via VPN without authentication, login via Tor, …).
