Azure AD Windows Profile is Bypassing MFA
- Oct 11, 2018
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. The idea is anyone accessing your o365 account on anything other than that device or another joined device you setup, will still need to do MFA to access your resources. If your machine gets stolen lost, they must crack the password, but the machine can be disabled, which will force MFA again.
I know :P Well, Jairo knows, and has documented it pretty well on his blog: https://jairocadena.com/2016/11/08/how-sso-works-in-windows-10-devices/
