Setup Multi-Factor Authentication for Office 365 for a Users Mailbox

Assigning Multi-factor Authentication for Office 365 accounts gives more security to Exchange Online, allowing users to have more than one verification method in the sign-in process. It checks if it is signed by the authorized user of Office 365. You can also say that MFA is a two-step verification process to Office 365 account. For this, we have to enable MFA for each user account. Once it is enabled, the user must accept a text message or the mobile app for verification. After it is been verified, you can use your Office 365 mailbox.

Here, I am going to discuss the MFA for Office 365 step by step process which you need to follow:

The many steps and details are continued at the above link.

It seems that Wave VSC 2.0 (2FA) setup for cloud applications (Office 365) would be more efficient and simpler to use than the method explained in this article. This could be another benefit to having Wave VSC 2.0!!

Get better security at less than half the cost

Passwords are weak. Tokens are expensive. Don’t compromise on security or price.

Wave Virtual Smart Card does anything your physical smart cards and tokens do, but it starts with hardware you already have: the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a hardware security chip built into the motherboard of most business-class PCs. You may not even know you have it, but once you do, the TPM can be used in a myriad of ways. Wave turns it into a smart card, embedded directly into your laptop.

What can it be used for?

What do you use your smart card for today? With the exception of keying open the door at work, Wave Virtual Smart Card can perform any of the services or applications you rely on your smart card for today. Secure VPN, WiFi, remote desktop, cloud applications – it can all be done with a virtual smart card.

One helpdesk call you'll never get: "I lost my virtual smart card again..."

There are so many ways to lose a token – couch cushions, street drains, curious toddlers. In fact, up to 30% of all tokens are eventually lost. It’s much harder to lose a laptop, and you notice a lot faster when you do.

The user experience with a virtual smart card is simple: he or she logs in with a PIN (authentication factor number one). The TPM (authentication factor number two) then transparently identifies the device to the network and connects the user to all the approved services. It’s one less thing for users to carry around.

What will you do with >50% TCO savings?*

Tokens and smart cards require an additional hardware purchase, plus the time and money to ship to remote users. Use something that’s already in the users’ hands (the TPM), and your acquisition and deployment costs are lower.

Then consider the management savings in not having to replace lost and stolen tokens. That means fewer helpdesk calls, less interruption of user productivity, and fewer acquisition and shipping costs.

When we say “secure”…

…we mean it. Our solution starts with a proven hardware root-of-trust. Multi-factor authentication is an established best-practice for strong authentication: the TPM-based virtual smart card is one factor (something you have) and the user PIN is a second factor (something you know).
