With the one-time bypass feature, users can authenticate one time and bypass the MFA. This setting is temporary, and after a specified number of seconds, it will expire automatically. This can be a solution in cases when a phone or mobile app doesn't receive a phone call or notification.
This setting is also configured from the Azure Active Directory settings in the Azure portal as follows:
- Navigate to the Azure portal by opening https://portal.azure.com.
- Select All services in the left menu, then type Azure Active Directory in the search bar, and open the settings.
- Under Manage, select Security.
- Then in the Security blade, select One-time bypass. Click the Add button in the top menu:
One-time bypass
- On the settings page, enter the username, including the full domain name, such as username@domain.com. Specify the number of seconds that the bypass should last and the reason for the bypass.
- Click the Add button. The time limit will go into effect immediately...
