Depending on your organization\u2019s security \u200bpolicies, it might be necessary to turn off\u2062 MFA now and then. Here is a condensed guide on how to do it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Access the Office 365 Admin Center.<\/b> Before \u2063you can turn MFA\u200b off, you must log in as a\u200d tenant admin.
