MFA requirement satisfied by multi-factor device
Hello,
Could you please help me to understand what exactly the "MFA requirement satisfied by multi-factor device" MFA result means? This string appears in the exported Entra ID sign-in log under the column "Multifactor authentication result" when column "Multifactor authentication auth method" is equal Other or empty cell.
Thank you!
The MFA requirement satisfied by multi-factor device result in Entra ID sign in logs means the user met the MFA requirement using a device that’s already trusted , like a compliant or hybrid Azure AD-joined device.
In this case, the system recognizes the device as secure enough, so no interactive MFA prompt was needed. That’s why the method shows as other or is blank because no separate code or prompt was actually triggered.

The user likely logged in with FIDO/passkey, which counts as both first and MFA factor. Check the Authentication details tab/property.
Hi Vasil, the "authenticationMethod" is actually "Other" or empty (null), so it was't FIDO/passkey but thank you.
