Planning and Implementing Authentication

Over the course of the last few chapters, you’ve learned a lot about identity, synchronization, and sign-in methods – all part of the Microsoft 365 foundation. In this chapter, we’ll shift gears from how you configure the service for a sign-in method to how you implement authentication on the user-facing side.

We’re going to tackle authentication mechanisms and methods by covering the following topics:

  • Choosing an authentication mechanism
  • Configuring and managing multi-factor authentication
  • Implementing and managing authentication methods
  • Implementing and managing self-service password reset
  • Implementing and managing Azure AD password protection
  • Investigating and resolving authentication issues
