Hi,

I've installed Azure Storage Explorer on Windows 10 Pro x64.

version01

after authentication I get the following errors:

azure storage explorer 01

My azure subscription is MSDN type, there is only 1 user (my hotmail user). At Entra admin center:

At Per-user multifactor authentication:

I enabled MFA in the user, and get this pop-up:

I went to the link in the pop-up https://aka.ms/mfasetup, and get an error:

The question is:

¿how to enable MFA in my user account (hotmail account) to use Azure Storage Explorer seamlessly?

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Sridevi Machavarapu,

    This issue occurs only when using Azure Storage Explorer.

    The funny thing is that the next day I was able to use Azure Explorer without any problems.

    Thank you anyway.
