- 1. Microsoft Edge Browser for the Best Experience
- 2. Keep Your Browser Session Open After Authenticating
There are a two major things you can do to reduce the number of Microsoft MFA authentication requests you receive.
1. Microsoft Edge Browser for the Best Experience
The Microsoft Edge browser is the university’s recommended web browser, as its integration with Microsoft MFA means you will be asked to authenticate less often when using M365 apps.
If you are a Chrome user, you might be interested to know that Edge is based on the Google’s Chromium codebase and therefore contains many of the Chrome’s features.
2. Keep Your Browser Session Open After Authenticating
To further reduce the number of authentication requests when using Microsoft 365 web applications, such as Outlook, OneDrive, Word, Excel etc., keep your browser session open after authenticating. This will preserve your authentication for up to eight hours.
