TAP Question
Hi All I hope you are well. Anyway, I'm looking for some clarification over Temporary Access Passes (TAP) as our testing seems to reveal some different results from those listed in the MS documentation. Here's the scenario's. My understanding: Require MFA policy deployed via Conditional Access New user F3 user starts Issue TAP to user where they can then setup MFA themselves via My Security Info etc Testing results: Require MFA policy deployed via Conditional Access New user F3 user starts User can setup MFA themselves via MS Auth app on a mobile device or via My Security Info in a browser MS TAP Info page: "The most common use for a TAP is for a user to register authentication details during the first sign-in or device setup, without the need to complete extra security prompts." Ref: Configure a Temporary Access Pass in Microsoft Entra ID to register passwordless authentication methods - Microsoft Entra ID | Microsoft Learn Have I missed understood something here and if a new user can indeed still setup MFA is there any real need for a TAP for first time user? Info appreciated. SKWeb Sign-In: Alert QR Code/Code for Mobile
Had 2FA turned off in the work account, on the web login screen a reminder only a few logins allowed without the Authenticator. Fair enough so instead of logging in, got out the Android tablet and installed the Authenticator and logged in with the account there, no problems. A few minutes later attempted to log in to the account on web, this time it presented a QR code with the link "phonefactor:/activateaccount .... mobileappcommunicator.auth ..." which didn't seem to go well in Android using QR scanner or camera. The web login suggested an alternative to the QR code, an 8? digit code, but nothing in the Authenticator app seemed to want it. All of a sudden everything seems to work fine, the web login (with a note that 2FA was used in the login) and the Authenticator on the tablet, thus turning out as a good news ending to a slightly shaky start. :)
Microsoft Authenticator Passkeys for Entra ID on unmanaged devices
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?

Can't login using MFA after my phone got reset
Hi, I recently performed a factory reset on my phone and missed the fact that I only used Authenticator for MFA for one of my Microsoft Accounts, Accordind to the documentation the only way to solve this is by clearing MFA settings with the help of the helpdesk. I have already created a support ticket, they are telling me that they have reset MFA on my account and that I should be able to set Athenticator again. Unfortunately I couldn't, everytime I try to set it it is already asking to approve the authentication by sending a notification that obviously will never be received anywhere. Does anyone knows what the support team need to do exactly because I think that they are doing it wrong, it's been two days that I'm trying to explain to them with no luck.. Any help would be appreciatedPassword-less authentication with using One-time passcode from Microsoft Authenticator App.
Recently one of my users was in Internet restricted zone and when he tried to sign-in with Password less method, He didn't get the code due to no internet in mobile and in addition to this, he forgot the user sign-in password. Is there any method or way to setup that we can be able to sign-in with using the 6-digit Microsoft Authenticator App Code instead of the push notification and password.Can I use Microsoft Authenticator to authenticate multiple GitHub accounts?
I have two personal GitHub accounts. One is a Pro account and the other is a free account. Each account is associated with different Microsoft Accounts. I've been getting emails to my free GitHub account, telling me that they are going to start requiring the use of 2FA to authenticate. And this will start soon, in just a few weeks. My question is, can I use Microsoft Authenticator for both GitHub accounts? I'm sure that at some point my GitHub Pro account will also require 2FA, I just haven't started getting any emails about that yet. And of course, I use only one phone number for both GitHub accounts. So, can I use Microsoft Authenticator for two GitHub accounts with different email addresses, but the same phone number as the secondary SMS authentication?
