You have a Microsoft 365 tenant.
All users have mobile phones and laptops.
The users frequently work from remote locations that do not have Wi-Fi access or mobile phone connectivity. While working from the remote locations, the users connect their laptop to a wired network that has internet access.
You plan to implement multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Which MFA authentication method can the users use from the remote location?

  1. a verification code from the Microsoft Authenticator app
  2. security questions
  3. voice
  4. SMS

Answer(s): A

Administrators can force users to re-register against existing non-password credential (such as MFA or FIDO) and revoke 'remember MFA on the device', prompting for MFA on the next sign-in of all users.
The Authentication Administrator role has permission to force re-registration and multifactor authentication for standard users and users with some admin roles.

Box 2: User1 only.
Security Administrator.
Users with this role have permissions to manage security-related features in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, Azure Active Directory Identity Protection, Azure
Active Directory Authentication, Azure Information Protection, and Office 365 Security & Compliance Center.

-Require users to register when signing in: Yes
-Number of methods required to reset: 1
What is a valid authentication method available to users?

  1. a Microsoft Teams chat
  2. a mobile app notification
  3. a mobile app code
  4. an FIDO2 security token

Answer(s): C

You have an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant that uses Azure AD Identity Protection and contains the resources shown in the following table.
Azure Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is enabled for all users.
User1 triggers a medium severity alert that requires additional investigation.
You need to force User1 to reset his password the next time he signs in. The solution must minimize administrative effort.
What should you do?

  1. Reconfigure the user risk, policy to trigger on medium or low severity.
  2. Mark User1 as compromised.
  3. Reset the Azure MIFA registration for User1.
  4. Configure a sign-in risk policy.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Scenario: User compromised (True positive)
'Risky users' report shows an at-risk user [Risk state = At risk] with low risk [Risk level = Low] and that user was indeed compromised.
Feedback: Select the user and click on 'Confirm user compromised'.
What happens under the hood? Azure AD will move the user risk to High [Risk state = Confirmed compromised; Risk level = High] and will add a new detection
'Admin confirmed user compromised'.
Notes: Currently, the 'Confirm user compromised' option is only available in 'Risky users' report.
The detection 'Admin confirmed user compromised' is shown in the tab 'Risk detections not linked to a sign-in' in the 'Risky users' report.
