Office 365 E3 Security Defaults
I have office 365 E3 with three users and a fourth that just has a plan 1 mailbox. I have had this since 2013. A couple years ago I turned on Modern Authentication. It did not turn on by default. ...
Disabling legacy authentication is one of the things Security defaults cover, see here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/concept-fundamentals-security-defaults
You can think of it as an equivalent for manually blocking legacy auth, configuring users for MFA and so on. It will not cause you do be locked out of the admin portal, and should not cause any troubles with email clients too, assuming you're using a reasonably recent version.

Thanks. When you set the security defaults, does it provide a list of what it will change and can I change anything? Also, I looked at the sign in logs. Is there a way to see if any users are using a legacy authentication. I read I have to look at the app using it and i do not think I have anything using legacy. I just want to confirm.
- No, you cannot change anything, it's an "all or nothing" deal.
