Entra Enterprise apps and App registrations - Global Secure Access - Conditional Access Block
I am working on a rollout for Global Secure Access and ran into an issue with Entra Enterprise apps setup in the tenant. With Global Secure Access I have a Conditional Access Policy set to Block access to All Resources excluding some resources like Intune and Defender tap required for mobile setup. When I added an administrator account which had done some Enterprise application setup and authorization for various third-party applications, those third-party applications stopped working with failed logins indicating token access issues. Upon review I found the majority of applications to be using client secret authentication with this administrator account as the authorizer. My limited knowledge of Enterprise apps leads me to believe this client secret is an application password that the third-party uses to keep generating tokens based on the authorizing account. My questions surrounding this setup and further understanding are mainly in relation to how Enterprise apps and app registrations authenticate, as well as user authentication directly. 1. How does the token authorization work? Does the application just use the client secret to authenticate as the user who authorized it to generate an access token? Why does MFA requirements and changing passwords not affect this but specific Block policy does? 2. What are best practices in relation to authorizing third-party applications? My thoughts are a dedicated account to authorize applications when needed. 3. How will this work with applications regular users use? Say a user has a digital notebook that syncs with their OneNote or a calendar app that syncs calendars between Outlook and their website. Do these applications also use client secrets with the user's token and will break when added to the GSA setup I have? Is the only way around this to authorize with an admin account for token issuance? Thank you for your time reading this and any insight you may have for any of the questions or ideas mentioned.MFA alerts for when a alternative phone number is added

Hacked Live account
Hello, On of our customers accounts was hacked. This is a Live account linked to his own emailadres (not hotmail) from his Internet Provider. A few weeks ago someone gained access to this account. They changed the recovery email address and the phone number. The customer has a paid Office 36 family account, which is paid for with his MasterCard and he can provide the invoice from the last years.. We tried the account recovery Form multiple times, opened a case with CDOC Case Management. We simply got the reply that they could not do anything but to suspend the account. I Think this is crazy, is there no solution to this ? Thanks,
Case 2512040040001886 - Cannot Access Account
Since the 4th of December we have been patiently waiting on MS Tech support to assist on resolving our Case with no success endless calls and endless promises with no luck. How do you proceed in using Microsoft for a Business if they don't deliver on the support. My business is taking the brunt of it. I suppose another call holding for hours and another Support person promise a solution. No other methods to log complaints as you cannot log into your Account Portal.
Graph http 449 throttled
We are experiencing a lot of Microsoft Graph trolling errors from some of our applications that are hosted in Azure Web App Services and other third party such as Front App to name one. I am trying to find an approach or strategy to figure out and narrow down what may be causing so many of these events. Whether I can narrow down by application or process, I am not sure yet. We enforce MFA on all our users, but of course, on Azure Enterprise Applications, we don't, which are used extensively in our ecosystem of apps. Any help is much appreciated here.
In "Per-user multifactor authentication" I disabled MFA for one user; All got disabled
Hi, I'm the 365 admin for our org. Today I had a user that got a new phone and became stuck in a MS Authenticator app loop. (The app required MFA to login to the app, but they can't login to the app because they aren't logged into the app. This happened once before, and is a ridiculous Kafkaesque situation; but I digress.) To solve it, I went to disable MFA on their account, allowing them to login to the app. Then MFA could be re-enabled. Problem solved. And indeed that did work. However, on the admin side (per the screenshot) I checked off their user account (the user starting with the letter "B") and hit the "Disable MFA" link. A confirmation appeared asking me if I wanted to disable MFA for all selected users. Because I'm the careful sort, I could still see that only that one user was checked off as the popover div didn't cover that much of the screen. Hence I confirmed that I wanted to disable MFA for the selected users (i.e. that one user). I then refreshed the page, and all users are now shown as having MFA disabled. I'm 100% sure only that one user was selected, not everyone in my org. That would've been foolish. Trying to figure out what's wrong with this portion of the admin site.

Hello, has anyone successfully registered passkeys on an unmanaged phone in an organisation with device compliance policies? Use case is to provide a phishing-resistant MFA option via Authenticator app for logging into apps on their desktop. Users already have authenticator app on their phone and do number matching MFA. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/authentication/how-to-register-passkey-authenticator?tabs=iOS When I select "Create a passkey" - I need to log into my account. However I'm blocked from successful authentication because I have conditional access policies to require compliant devices. As my mobile phone is not enrolled into Intune, I never get to the step where the passkey is created and registered. Based on the constraints - it seems like passkeys cannot be used for unmanaged/BYOD devices for organisations that have device compliance policies. It can only be used for users who have enrolled their mobile phone. Looking to see if anyone has tips or different experience using passkeys on unmanaged mobile phones to log into Entra?
