Microsoft Entra MFA / Microsoft Authenticator replacing Duo

Starting Today, September 16th, Florida Atlantic University will begin transitioning Employees from DUO to Microsoft Entra MFA for secure login to Microsoft applications.

What’s Happening:

  • Employees will begin seeing a 4P prompt to setup the Microsoft Authenticator when signing into FAU Services.
  • After enrolling, Entra MFA will be activated for all Microsoft apps (Outlook, Teams, Office 365, etc.). Duo will remain for non-Microsoft logins until we fully transition in the next few months.

What You Need to Know:

  • You can choose from:
    • Microsoft Authenticator app (recommended)
    • Hardware token (e.g., YubiKey)
    • SMS text message
    • Additional options coming soon
