So in our enviroment we are enforcing MFA on users and also have legacy protocol sign in blocked.

We are seeing a lot of BAV2ROPC sign in attempts that are marked as failure. Just curious if the failure status is meaning the same thing as blocked because I see that they are getting an Error code 50053 which is for incorrect user ID or password.

    Thank you for your post and I apologize for the delayed response!

    When it comes to your BAV2ROPC sign in attempts being marked as failure, can you share where you're seeing this - are you seeing these failures within the Azure AD Sign-in logs? If so, when it comes to the sign-in attempt(s) being marked as Failure (Success, Failure, or Interrupted), this wouldn't be the same thing as Blocked since this term would relate to a Conditional Access Policies grant control. For more info - Common Conditional Access policy: Block legacy authentication.
