It is because the variety in Microsoft 365 apps reflects modern workplaces – the drive for more data and insights and the need for hybrid and remote workforces. Plus, the requirement for scalable storage and on-demand services. This way of doing business requires apps available As-a-Service, from anywhere and at any time. Moreover, many of these admin portal URLs will be business-critical and subject to strict security and governance procedures. Naturally, 2-Factor Authentication (2FA), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and other login security methods will often be required. Of course, this means taking some extra steps and time. However, there is one way we can help you log in and do your work faster. And that’s by making sure you have all the Microsoft 365 admin portal URLs in one place.
