MFA / 2 step verification for VM's in Azure

Question

Is it possible to easily implement MFA/ two step verification in Azure for VMs (servers)? I know it's quite easy with the virtual desktop environment (VDI) but can't find much on VMs.

New to Azure so just getting my feet wet.

Thanks
Jeff

Answer 1

You can configure logging on to a VM with an Azure AD account, which will then allow you use MFA through Azure AD. See here

Answer 2

Hi,

Yes it is possible you will need to configure Conditional Access policies to require multifactor authentication (MFA) and other signals, such as user sign-in risk, before you can RDP into Windows VMs.

Please check the pre-reqs and detailed article on this process. howto-vm-sign-in-azure-ad-windows
