Per User MFA deprecated?

Microsoft have announced that, "The ability to manage authentication methods in MFA and SSPR policies ends 30 September 2025" and so everyone must, "Migrate to the Authentication methods policy in Azure Active Directory by 30 September 2025."

Here's my question though, since I cannot see to get a straight answer from anyone. I understand the process of migrating the policies, and I understand how that all works. What I would like to know though, is in 2025 does that mean we will no longer be able to use Per User MFA?

This article does not state that this feature will be deprecated in 2025, but does anyone know? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/howto-mfa-userstates

Some people are saying Per User MFA is going away, others say its not included as part of these new policies.

Does anyone actually know?

    Hi, Claudio_N2N

    Good day!

    Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you.

    According to your description, Microsoft has not announced any plans to deprecate or discontinue the use of Per User MFA.

    The announcement you mentioned is related to the management of authentication methods in MFA and SSPR policies, and the need to migrate to the Authentication methods policy in Azure Active Directory by 30 September 2025. This change is aimed at providing a more streamlined and consistent approach to managing authentication methods across Microsoft products and services. Rest assured that Per User MFA will continue to be supported and available for use.

    Thanks for your precious time and your understanding would be highly appreciated.

    Hope you all the best!

    Sincerely,

    Alex | Microsoft Community Moderator.
