Service account MFA best practices

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 218

We are trying to figure out how to avoid having to transfer the MFA for a service account to someone else when they go on vacation.


Is there anything that can either be done to make it easier to have more than one person own the MFA, OR a good approach to expempt service account from MFA. 

 

I'm not talking about conditional access polices, but no MFA, and what guardrails would you put in place instead to ensure that the service account can't be used if breached.

    Hello @byrnep,

     

    If you are using Microsoft Authenticator, you can add the account to Microsoft Authenticator apps on multiple phones.

    I think you can also exclude individual users from MFA. I would not recommend this, however, because the service account typically has a higher number of privileges.
