    @Ashwin Barfa
    Go to Microsoft 365 admin center -> Users -> Active users -> Select the user -> Manage multifactor authentication -> Select the user -> Disable multi-factor authentication.

    Hello George,

    thanks for you quick answer. I tried it in AAD (portal.azure.com) for a specific user. Despte MFA is deactivated there is still a 2nd Factor requested.

    I am refering to this Article (in german): https://www.act-computer.de/hilfe-tipps/item/geloest-microsoft-365-zwei-faktor-authentifizierung-deaktivieren

    Login issue to Office 365 due to Microsoft Authenticator App reset after formatting mobile data

    I formatted my mobile phone data due to rom issues and forgot to take a backup of Microsoft Authenticator app data.

    I have a Developer E5 Office 365 subscription on my personal Microsoft account. I created a single admin user for the developer subscription and turned on MFA for passwordless signings.

    Now every time I open any Microsoft URL with the developer subscription admin login it keeps redirecting to the MFA login.

    I can't even access the admin center page to turn off MFA. Seems like I am stuck in an MFA login loop.

    Can anyone please help?

    I might post a video on how to do this. But basically Mohammed's method is the correct one.

    You can achieve it via a conditional access policy for single user.
