Microsoft 365 MFA Meltdown: Another Day, Another Outage!
Microsoft’s Multi-Factor Authentication outage is turning productivity into a guessing game, blocking access to Microsoft 365 Office apps. Affected users might find it easier to crack a safe than log in. Microsoft is rerouting traffic to healthier infrastructure, but until then, keep your fingers crossed and your passwords handy!

Hot Take:
Looks like Microsoft’s multi-factor authentication is having a mid-life crisis and decided to take a break from functioning. Maybe it needs a vacation, though preferably not during working hours!
Key Points:
- Microsoft’s Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is experiencing an outage affecting Microsoft 365 Office apps.
- MFA registration and reset processes are also impacted, leaving some users locked out.
- Microsoft is redirecting traffic to healthy infrastructure while investigating the issue.
- Another issue is causing Microsoft 365 apps to crash on Windows Server 2016 devices.
- This is not the first time Microsoft 365 services have faced outages; there was a major one in November affecting multiple services.
