Passwords and MFA aren’t going away anytime soon. That no doubt will gain much traction in the future, legacy systems with Passwordless, biometric concept of Windows Hello, and while this is something Microsoft seem hell-bent on pushing through the Lot of requests to extend the Microsoft Authenticator service onto WindowsĬonsole logons and RDP logons, and since MS have sunset the on-premises MFA The way Microsoft recommend to do it was by using Windows Hello, but within a few minutes of reading the literature around it, it was clear that there was a *lot* of work required to get Windows Hello up and running – and it wasn’t exactly fully foolproof either. Rather naively, I assumed that you would be able to do this simply using the Microsoft Authenticator service directly, but I was surprised to find that this functionality wasn’t offered.

So I recently had a challenge where I needed to add 2FA (specifically, using the Microsoft Authenticator service) to a Windows 10 logon for a particular set of users. Need a quick and easy 2FA setup for Windows and RDP logons? This might help…
