Answer 3

Dear Tomas Larsson

Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community.

Based on your description, I know the scenario you met.

To disable MFA for logging in to your Microsoft 365 admin account, you can follow these steps:

1. Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center using your admin credentials.
2. Go to the "Users" section and select your admin account.
3. Click on "Manage multi-factor authentication" under the user's name.
4. In the multi-factor authentication page, select the user and click on "Disable" under "Quick Steps".
5. Confirm the action by clicking on "Yes" in the pop-up window.

Please note that disabling MFA for your admin account can increase the risk of unauthorized access to your account and data. It is recommended to keep MFA enabled for all users, especially for admin accounts. Here is the reference: Set up multifactor authentication for users - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn.

Your understanding and co-operation are highly appreciated.

Thanks for your precious time, Have a nice day.

Sincerely

Katherine
