Enforce SSPR Security Questions - Prevent Skipping

Raymond Brooks 346

SSPR is currently enabled for some users, but when they login they can skip setting their security questions temporarily.

Is there a way to prevent skipping and force the user to set their questions, whether manually or with PowerShell?

Hello @Raymond Brooks , disabling to skip Azure AD SSPR security questions is not possible, however Azure AD will keep prompting them until they've been registered.

Many thanks for that.

Now I wonder the following details below:

Is this a new user account?

Did you replicate the process? Like you forgot the password and then, you were prompted to answer the security questions....

Are you testing this using an Admin account or any other role?

Have you tried to use custom policies for it?

Regards.

I'm testing with brand new, non admin accounts, currently the only policy is a block policy. I looked at grant policies but there is no option to enforce SSRP which is what i'm trying to accomplish.

Hi

Thanks for the quick answer.

Did you look for access conditional policy settings on the search bar?

Cheers

I'm not seeing any setting that would do this, i'm opening a ticket with support to see what if they have any suggestions. Will update if they have a resolution.
