MFA without a Cellphone
This is becoming a bigger issue more and more. We cannot, as a company, require our Employees to use a personal cellphone to get text codes or install work apps to authenticate our work accounts. We supply these users with a Business Voice license so they can make business calls and accept business calls. All of our employees have corporately paid laptops running Windows 10 and all have SharePoint, Email, OneDrive, Teams etc. Microsoft does not offer the authenticator app on Windows 10 so we can't use that method. So what do we do? Leave all these accounts vulnerable? I've read about using "landlines" for authentication then Microsoft says that's not secure but then provides no guidance on exactly how we're supposed to do this. We cannot be expected to pay for a cellphone for all these users just to use one app. That's ridiculous.Welcome to the Blockchain AMA!

Unable to add IT Pro Cloud Essentials
Hello All, I started Azure with the free trial and once its expired added a pay as you go subscription. When I try to add IT Pro Cloud Essential or Visual Studio Dev subscriptions it does not allow me to add and displays the following error. We cannot proceed with signup due to an issue with your account. Please contact support Opened up a support ticket and Azure support is saying this is due to the expired Trial account. I found no way to remove the trial. Is there any way for me to add the above-mentioned subscriptions? Thanks in advance, -Dhanushka
Disable "Windows Hello"
I am an admin, and attempting to disable "Windows Hello for Business" also referred to as 2-step authentication. From what I gather, this option is set as "disabled" by default. I confirmed this. However Whenever I join a device to Azure AD, it is always prompted with "Windows Hello" and to create a pin. Where can I find the option that allows me to disable this?
