Why MFA is no longer optional
Passwords leak constantly; multi-factor authentication adds a second check so a stolen password is not enough. It blocks the vast majority of account-takeover attacks and is available on Microsoft 365 and most services today. Turn it on for everyone, especially admins.
Why now
Password leaks are routine, and MFA stops most automated attacks outright.
What to enable
App-based or hardware MFA (avoid SMS where possible), enforced for all users.
Close the gaps
Block legacy authentication that bypasses MFA.
FAQ

SMS or app?
App or hardware key; SMS is better than nothing but weaker.
Admins too?
Especially admins - they are the top target.
