Best MFA for RDP to a Windows Workstation?

Question

Hi All,

Windows 10 Pro

Windows 11 Pro

I have RDP set up on several Windows workstation such that customers can remote into the work computers from home with mstsc.

Problem: on some of them, I am now required to set up multifactor authentication (MFA) to accept a log on. What is the best way to do this?

Many thanks,

Answer 1

The one I landed on is

https://rohos.com/

Lets you pick Terminal Services only. Uses a QR code which works perfectly in Red Hat's FreeOTP (IOs and Android). Can be used without a connection to the Internet. Requires no cloud account. Requires no dedicated Windows server. Has awesome tech support. Is a one time purchase, not a rental. And is reasonably priced.

Answer 2

Who ever wrote me on my eMail that did not show up here,, missed that the question was about remote access with RDP on a workstation. No server involved.

This is the route we eventually took: https://duo.com/docs/rdp#download-link

Hello,

 

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

To configre the MFA for your RDP login, please kindly look into below Microsoft Official Documentation:

 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/security-and-compliance/set-up-multi-factor-authentication?view=o365-worldwide

 

Once it's configured and assigned to users, it will work for user login.

Hope this answer can help you well.

 

Best regards，
