Conditional Access - Two Factor Authentication

[Bankesy]

Good afternoon all,

 

Just wondering if anybody knows why I might be getting the following behaviour on one account and not others given the config below:

 

I've setup 2FA via a conditional access policy in Azure and added a user group, users in that group get prompted to setup 1 authentication method for 2FA and it works thereafter no issues.

 

Except my account (which is in said group) gets prompted to create 2 x authentication methods...because I'm a global admin maybe?

 

Thanks

If your a global admin and have not adjusted the security settings, then it will prompt you to setup 2 authentication methods.

 

All our staff only get prompted for the single method with our CA setup, but on 1 tenancy us admins still have to setup the old phone authentication as well. I could change it, but as we are moving from it at the end of the school year it's just something we have to remember when creating any GA accounts which is rare.

I've seen - but never questioned - the same behaviour. It only appears to happen for global admins.
