Is Microsoft forcing everyone to use the security defaults feature on Azure? We don't recall enabling security defaults at our managed customer's orgs, and we could log in to customer environments without being asked for MFA for quite some time. However, very recently (about 2 weeks ago), we have noticed that most of our customer orgs are being asked to setup MFA. Can someone verify this? Is there a way who have set the security defaults on Azure?
