Get ready to re-authenticate more often when performing sensitive actions like managing credentials in Microsoft 365.
As of August 15, 2025, Microsoft introduced an additional layer of protection:
š When managing credentials or accessing My Sign-ins (https://lnkd.in/ex9FVMJn), users must complete multi-factor authentication (MFA) if they havenāt authenticated in theĀ š„šš¬š 10 š¦š¢š§š®ššš¬ of their session.
By tightening the authentication window, Microsoft is cutting down the risk of unauthorized access, even if a session gets hijacked.
Yes, it might feel like āone more prompt,ā but every re-authentication is a wall between your identity and a potential breach.
Security isnāt always convenient, but itās always worth it.
