Unblock MFA
Interesting, I've never seen deny result in a block when using Azure MFA. I just did a quick test with my account and it doesn't result in blocking. Perhaps I'm missing something...
In any case, the unblock action can only be done via the portal UI afaik.

When any MFA enabled Microsoft or Office 365 user has tried login in with incorrect password then the user account gets blocked and can be unblocked using below URL.
Even if you have basic free subscription a Global Admin can Login here an unblock the user account.

Hope that answers the question however any unanswered queries about MFA or Office 365 are welcome.
Thank you Ajij_Shaikh for your solution since this is still an issue!

- Why can only a Global Admin unblock MFA users? I would be great that unblock requests could be completed by our helpdesk.
- The exact issue I am trying to figure out, is there a role we can assign that can do this beside global admin.
