Hp Reset Security Defaults 023

[Brigitta Martini]

Asan administrator for your organization's Google Workspace or Cloud Identity service, you can view and manage security settings for a user. For example, you can reset a user's password, add or remove security keys for multi-factor authentication, and reset user sign-in cookies.

A security key is a small device that lets you sign in to a Google Account using 2-Step Verification (2SV). Of all the 2SV methods supported by Google, a security key is the most secure. It plugs into your computer's USB port or connects to your mobile device using NFC or Bluetooth. Learn more

If you turn off Advanced Protection enrollment here, only the user can re-enroll again provided that the Enable user enrollment setting is enabled at SecurityAuthenticationAdvanced Protection Program. For details, go to Enable users to enroll.

Note: If your organization uses SSO through a third-party IdP, the force a password change setting isn't available unless you use a network mask to allow some users to sign in directly to Workplace. To check whether a network mask is set up, go to SecuritySSO with third-party IDPsSSO profile for your organization.

Note: The recovery phone number should be unique for each user. If the same recovery phone number is used by multiple users, that number is automatically blocked for security reasons.

If Google suspects an unauthorized attempt to sign in to a user's account, a login challenge appears before access to the account is granted. The user must enter a verification code that Google sends to their phone. Or, the user can choose to answer another challenge that only the account owner can solve.

Also, if a Google Workspace user attempts a sensitive action, that user is sometimes presented with a verify-it's-you challenge. If the user can't enter the requested information, Google will disallow the sensitive action.

If a user loses their computer or mobile device, you can help prevent unauthorized access to their Google Account by resetting their sign-in cookies. This signs the user out of their Google Account (including any Google Workspace applications) across all devices and browsers.

If you set up single sign-on (SSO) using a third-party identity provider (IdP), the user's SSO session may still allow access to their Google Account after resetting their sign-in cookies. In this case, terminate their SSO session before resetting their Google sign-in cookies. For help with SSO management, contact your IdP support team.

Any apps for which the user has created app passwords are listed in the Application-specific password section. Note: If no app passwords are in use, this section is inactive.

Note: Removing data access for an app doesn't prevent a user from using the app in the future (if the user has the necessary permissions). Once a user signs into the app again, data access is restored. To permanently restrict user access to applications, you can block access to specific application scopes and set up an allowlist of approved apps for your organization.

Microsoft is making these preconfigured security settings available to everyone, because we know managing security can be difficult. Based on our learnings more than 99.9% of those common identity-related attacks are stopped by using multifactor authentication and blocking legacy authentication. Our goal is to ensure that all organizations have at least a basic level of security enabled at no extra cost.

If your tenant was created on or after October 22, 2019, security defaults might be enabled in your tenant. To protect all of our users, security defaults are being rolled out to all new tenants at creation.

To help protect organizations, we're always working to improve the security of Microsoft account services. As part of this protection, customers are periodically notified for the automatic enablement of the security defaults if they:

After this setting is enabled, all users in the organization will need to register for multifactor authentication. To avoid confusion, refer to the email you received and alternatively you can disable security defaults after it's enabled.

To configure security defaults in your directory, you must be assigned at least the Security Administrator role. By default the first account in any directory is assigned a higher privileged role known as Global Administrator.

As part of enabling security defaults, administrators should revoke all existing tokens to require all users to register for multifactor authentication. This revocation event forces previously authenticated users to authenticate and register for multifactor authentication. This task can be accomplished using the Revoke-AzureADUserAllRefreshToken PowerShell cmdlet.

All users have 14 days to register using the Microsoft Authenticator app or any app supporting OATH TOTP. After the 14 days pass, the user can't sign in until registration is completed. A user's 14-day period begins after their first successful interactive sign-in after enabling security defaults.

When users sign in and are prompted to perform multifactor authentication, they see a screen providing them with a number to enter in the Microsoft Authenticator app. This measure helps prevent users from falling for MFA fatigue attacks.

Administrators have increased access to your environment. Because of the power these highly privileged accounts have, you should treat them with special care. One common method to improve the protection of privileged accounts is to require a stronger form of account verification for sign-in, like requiring multifactor authentication.

We tend to think that administrator accounts are the only accounts that need extra layers of authentication. Administrators have broad access to sensitive information and can make changes to subscription-wide settings. But attackers frequently target end users.

After these attackers gain access, they can request access to privileged information for the original account holder. They can even download the entire directory to do a phishing attack on your whole organization.

One common method to improve protection for all users is to require a stronger form of account verification, such as multifactor authentication, for everyone. After users complete registration, they'll be prompted for another authentication whenever necessary. Microsoft decides when a user is prompted for multifactor authentication, based on factors such as location, device, role, and task. This functionality protects all registered applications, including SaaS applications.

In case of B2B direct connect users, any multifactor authentication requirement from security defaults enabled in resource tenant will need to be satisfied, including multifactor authentication registration by the direct connect user in their home tenant.

To give your users easy access to your cloud apps, we support various authentication protocols, including legacy authentication. Legacy authentication is a term that refers to an authentication request made by:

Today, most compromising sign-in attempts come from legacy authentication. Legacy authentication doesn't support multifactor authentication. Even if you have a multifactor authentication policy enabled on your directory, an attacker can authenticate by using an older protocol and bypass multifactor authentication.

Using Azure Resource Manager to manage your services is a highly privileged action. Azure Resource Manager can alter tenant-wide configurations, such as service settings and subscription billing. Single-factor authentication is vulnerable to various attacks like phishing and password spray.

This policy applies to all users who are accessing Azure Resource Manager services, whether they're an administrator or a user. This policy applies to Azure Resource Manager APIs such as accessing your subscription, VMs, storage accounts, and so on. This policy doesn't include Microsoft Entra ID or Microsoft Graph.

Pre-2017 Exchange Online tenants have modern authentication disabled by default. In order to avoid the possibility of a login loop while authenticating through these tenants, you must enable modern authentication.

The Microsoft Entra Connect synchronization account is excluded from security defaults and will not be prompted to register for or perform multifactor authentication. Organizations should not be using this account for other purposes.

It's critical to inform users about upcoming changes, registration requirements, and any necessary user actions. We provide communication templates and user documentation to prepare your users for the new experience and help to ensure a successful rollout. Send users to to register by selecting the Security Info link on that page.

Security defaults users are required to register for and use multifactor authentication using the Microsoft Authenticator app using notifications. Users might use verification codes from the Microsoft Authenticator app but can only register using the notification option. Users can also use any third party application using OATH TOTP to generate codes.

Do not disable methods for your organization if you are using security defaults. Disabling methods may lead to locking yourself out of your tenant. Leave all Methods available to users enabled in the MFA service settings portal.

If your organization is a previous user of per-user based multifactor authentication, don't be alarmed to not see users in an Enabled or Enforced status if you look at the multifactor authentication status page. Disabled is the appropriate status for users who are using security defaults or Conditional Access based multifactor authentication.

While security defaults are a good baseline to start your security posture from, they don't allow for the customization that many organizations require. Conditional Access policies provide a full range of customization that more complex organizations require.
