How will Power Query in Excel handle MFA after September 15, 2025?
Starting September 15, 2025, Microsoft will enforce MFA by default for Microsoft 365 accounts. However, the actual application of MFA depends on your organization’s Entra ID (Azure AD) Conditional Access policies.
1. MFA is required, but IT can exclude specific accounts like service or break glass accounts.
2. Policies may make MFA conditional, such as only for risky sign ins or when accessing from external networks.
3. Trusted locations or compliant devices can minimize the frequency of MFA prompts.
So technically, your account could be excluded from MFA, but that depends entirely on how your organization’s policies are set up.Regards,
