If I missed this I apologize. Our Organization is currently set with basic auth in O365. All users have 2 MFA set and use Outlook 2016 on the PC and varies on their mobile devices. Right now they activate Office applications with their user / pwd and receive a text code to type in. In Outlook on a PC they use the App Password to add the account.
My Question: Once I enable Modern Auth, what is the experience each user in the org will have? Will they need to go back to the O365 Portal and login, setup a new auth method? Or will Outlook just prompt them to re-authenticate using user/pwd? Do the users now all have to download and install the Microsoft Auth app? I've been trying to get them to do that over the years, but no luck so far.
Thank you for any guidance you offer.
