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…
