Azure, Office 365 go super-secure: Multi-factor auth borked in Europe, Asia, USA

Admin Mobile App

Like many we were caught out with this MFA issue and find it difficult to understand the poor communication and duration it took to fix. Found a way around it using the Office365 admin Mobile app, sorry late in the day to be posting a work-around.

The app still functioned and remained logged in unaffected by the MFA issue for user admin/email tasks including creating new users. We created a new user and assigned Admin role, it is not possible to enable or disable MFA in the app. This is fine as once user created we could log in with the new Admin and turn off MFA for the existing Admins.

Although a bit slow, the Admin app is quite handy for lots of things and got us out of a hole yesterday.

The Quantum of Firefox: Why is this one unlike any other Firefox?

FF default browser for years but recently started to look at Vivaldi as FF slow. Using FF57> has been great and now all PC devices updated to latest FF57 and loving it. Some things such as tabs not working as well with TreeTab but can live with that.
