Question

You have Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enabled on your account. When accessing Office 365 from your mobile device, you will require an app password. True or False?

a) True
b) False

Answer 1

You do not generally require an app password to access Office 365 on a mobile device with MFA enabled, as modern authentication supports MFA prompts directly in the apps.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that when accessing Office 365 from your mobile device, you will require an app password if Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is enabled is generally false. With MFA, typically, you do not need an app password for mobile applications including Office 365 apps because they support modern authentication, which is capable of handling MFA prompts directly within the apps themselves. Instead of an app password, you would usually authenticate using a second factor like a phone call, text message with a verification code, or through a notification approval from an authentication app.
