Can I have the MFA turn on if using web to login and off if using smtp or sending email?

Question

Good day guys! I'd like to ask if my setup is possible. I have an account in Office 365 that is used for email blasting of promos. Can we have its MFA turn on if we are to login using web browser and have it off when just sending an email using 3rd party apps or an email sender? Microsoft 365 support told me to check the Conditional Access.. Can anyone help me? TIA

Hello Glenn,

Thanks for your question.

Yes, you should be able to achieve this using conditional access for client apps. You can create policies that apply to specific client apps and enforce MFA when accessing through web-based clients 

To do this create a conditional access policy and maybe limit to a couple of test users and use the link here to test before rolling out. See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/conditional-access/concept-conditional-access-conditions
