O365 MFA Sign In Experience - Windows

Follow

When you are connected to VPN, the user experience should be fairly seamless.  Outlook and Teams along with other Office 365 applications will automatically sign in with your Windows credentials.  A blank window will pop up, redirect to OneLogin and then disappear.  You will not be required to use MFA while on VPN.

When you are not connected to VPN, you will be redirected to OneLogin to sign in and then prompted for WFAA Duo MFA.  The typical option to select is a DUO Push.

Some applications may prompt to retry authentication.

 

Here is a Teams windows requiring re-authentication on a windows device:

Here is an example of a sign-in issue with Word.  Excel, PowerPoint, and the other Office applications will look similar.  You will see a yellow triangle next to your name on the title bar.
