Microsoft's Multi-Factor Authentication Service Goes Down For Second Week in a Row (zdnet.com)
Just over a week after a global problem with its multi-factor authentication (MFA) service plagued a number of users, another Microsoft MFA outage is impacting a number of customers. Many, but not all, of the customers reporting problems today seem to be U.S.-based. From a report: Starting around 9:15 a.m. ET, a number of Office 365 customers began reporting on Twitter that they were unable to sign into that service because of an MFA issue. Office 365 is one of a number of Microsoft services that uses Azure Active Directory MFA to authenticate. Around 10:15 a.m. ET, Microsoft's Azure status dashboard was updated to reflect the possibility of a cross-region potential outage impacting MFA. "Impacted customers may experience failures when attempting to authenticate into Azure resources where MFA is required by policy. Engineers are investigating the issue and the next update will be provided in 60 minutes or as events warrant," the dashboard status said.
You're going to provide me a nice storage service on-prem that I can access on an iPhone or Android device with conflict resolution and live cooperative editing between say 10 collaborators? And this service is going to manage sync conflicts? And this service is going to scale instantly? And it'll have a single sign on portal so that I can access said collaborative data share? And when I need to share that data with someone outside of the organization you're going to maintain the registration and securities permission of sharing said document? Also is your data service going to OCR and scan all photos in a project folder? Are you going to let me have federated search on my phone to search the contents of documents on my phone quickly while on a public wifi?
