×Microsoft Outlook Web App (OWA) Multi Factor Authentication (MFA/2FA) for OWA login and Exchange admin center (EAC) login is a process of authentication in which you have to provide two different factors to gain secure access to your critical resources in OWA, thereby enabling OWA 2FA/MFA and Exchange admin center (EAC) login MFA. The first factor is the one that you know, such as username and password (OWA user credentials). These credentials can be your existing username and password from AD or any database. The Second factor is a dynamic, unique set of credentials on MFA device such as authenticator apps, OTP over SMS/Email, Hardware tokens, security key, etc. This additional layer or the security key prevents any unauthorised person and gives secure access to OWA logins and Exchange admin center (EAC) logins, even if your username and passwords are compromised.

A. Restricting access to Outlook Web Access (OWA) with IP Blocking
You can use adaptive authentication with Outlook Web Access (OWA) Single Sign-On (SSO) to improve the security and functionality of Single Sign-On. You can allow a IP Address in certain range for SSO or you can deny it based your requirements and you can also challenge the user to verify his authenticity. Adaptive authentication manages the user authentication bases on different factors such as Device ID, Location, Time of Access, IP Address and many more.
You can configure Adaptive Authentication with IP Blocking in following way:Attribute | Description |
