...Conditional access? Can you breifly describe? Are you referring to Microsoft's Powershell solution, enabling Exchange online and Skype for MFA. I haven't done this yet but was going to test. I'm told this will take care of it (so I don't need to do the App Password) but need to test.
Details in the GETTING STARTING WITH MODERN AUTHENTICATION section.
Quick Follow up ... Microsoft has a setting solution, to enable MFA for Exchange Online and Skype 2016, rather than using APP PASSWORD. Powershell is needed to make this change. But MFA does not yet work when connecting to Exchange Online with Powershell. MFA does work for connecting to Azure AD with Powershell.
So MFA needs to mature to the point where one can connect with Powershell. Hmmm. I want MFA turned on for admins. Then my admins will not be able to use Powershell to do their admin work. Hope to be proven wrong soon, on using MFA and Powershell for connecting to Exchange Online.- This should give you more info. I'm not the MFA guy in our org but I know they fixed the Skype calendar issue when MFA is enabled with this: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/documentation/articles/active-directory-conditional-access/
- Thank you! I will definitely check this out. I have the AD Premium, so it may be my solution.
