Hello @zorrol ,

I hope your question is still relevant.

As described below, you can disable the security standards (MFA) for the entire organization in Microsoft 365. However, this is not recommended! Please note: If security defaults are disabled, your organization is vulnerable to frequent identity-based attacks.

1. Log in to the Microsoft Azure portal using your existing administrator credentials.
2. After successful login, you will be on the Microsoft Azure Portal home page. Click on "Show Portal Menu" in the upper left corner and select "Azure Active Directory"
3. You are now in the overview of Azure Active Directory. Click on "Properties" on the left
4. Click on "Manage security standards"
5. The "Security Standard" window will open. For security standard, select "Disable (not recommended)". Select a "Reason for Disabling" and then click "Save."

Please note: When security standards are disabled, your organization is vulnerable to frequent identity-based attacks

6. Another prompt to disable the security standards will appear. Click "Disable"
7. The security standards policy has been successfully disabled
