Disabling Office 365 Multi-Factor Authentication

Recently Microsoft announced that they updated their authentication methods both on Azure and Office 365 as default security. Some accesing problems occured after Microsoft announced the MFA as default security. Even IT Staffs who works our company couldn’t access their Office365 services. We downloaded Authenticator which was published by Microsoft on Google Play Store and Apple Store but we couldn’t even access our emails via desktop apps.

Anyway we decided to disable the MFA for our company and our clients for a while.
