Got a question? Drop it here! Or let me know what you thought about the video 😃
The best and fastest way is: Identity / Overview / Properties/ all the way down, option, Manage security defaults, Disabled.
I can confirm this is also another way of doing it, however I have had reports from other Microsoft 365 admins that the security defaults sometimes get's switched back on by Microsoft.
Finally! Some instructions that make sense and don't lead to a non-existent location (looking right at you Microsoft). The forced authenticator causes no end of issues for many of our end users and Microsoft really make it difficult to disable. Hopefully it will do the trick.
You’re very welcome! That was the reason as to why I made the video as I also experienced the same issue with my end users. Glad I could help!
THANK YOU! PERFECT! It's so hard to find exact, thorough instructions - great job!
My pleasure! It's very annoying for users who don't want to be forced to use the authenticator so I had to make a video!
This guide enabled me to recover an account stuck in an Authenticator doom loop. Thanks!
My pleasure! Glad it fixed your issue.

I did everything as you showed and it still asks for Microsoft Authenticator, why?
Give it time to apply. Some changes do not happen instantly
Bravo
I've made the changes but it's still insisting that users install the authenticator app.

@@MatthewsTechHub do you how long it took to update for you?
@@bscscan8194 It took around 2 hours but depending on how busy M365 is with processing changes it can take longer going up to 48 hours at times.
How do you disable for a specific user?
I will cover this in a future video. Will reply once the video has been posted.
Very helpful, I've completed your full instruction. However when I open my email, MS Authenticator pops up. When I delete the screen Outlook opens, but it only displays past messages, and I can't send anything from my account. Do you have any ideas how to fix this? Thanks again!
Hi, How long roughly did you give it after making the change? Sometimes as mentioend in other comment replies it can take up to a few hours sometimes going up to 48 hours to apply the change fully in M365.
It might be worth also going into Entra and resetting the authentication methods again.
If the issue still persists, feel free to let me know.
what if i can't even sign in because the authentication app won't show me the authentication codes?
I would suggest removing the account from your authenticator app and then re-adding it back if possible. If you are locked out of your administrator account then you would need to contact MS to sort this out.
