Hello,

I use my own Azure Portal just for testing my own Azure Components (Functions, Apps etc.)

Is Multi-factor authentication must after 15/10/2024?

If yes what version of MFA is cheapest for one Developers usage?

Thanks!

    Hi Michael,

    Yes, you will need to enable MFA so that you can continue to use Azure portal. One option is to use Microsoft Authenticator on your phone, which is free.

    Please see article below for details. Also note that you can request to postpone enforcement until March 15, 2025 if you want (article describes how).
