    It's not bypassing MFA, when you join the machine to Azure AD it requires MFA to join the machine, which can use windows hello to use the TPM chip, turning your device into something you have and your Password / PIN(Hello) as part of the MFA so you no longer have to do MFA to access your office resources from the device itself.
