What is Conditional Access?
Conditional Access is the Microsoft Entra ID policy engine that decides whether to allow, block or challenge a sign-in based on signals such as user, group, application, device compliance, location and risk. It is the core of a Microsoft Zero Trust deployment.
Phishing-resistant MFA, such as passkeys, FIDO2 security keys, Windows Hello for Business and certificate-based authentication, cannot be relayed by adversary-in-the-middle phishing kits the way SMS codes and push approvals can. CISA recommends phishing-resistant MFA as the strongest option.

Conditional Access and MFA FAQs
Answers to common questions about Conditional Access and passwordless sign-in.
What licence is needed for Conditional Access?
Microsoft Entra ID P1, included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium, E3 and E5. Risk-based conditions require Entra ID P2.
What is phishing-resistant MFA?
Authentication that cannot be intercepted and replayed by a phishing site, such as passkeys, FIDO2 security keys, Windows Hello for Business and certificate-based authentication.
Is SMS MFA still acceptable?
SMS is better than no MFA but is vulnerable to SIM swapping and phishing. We recommend moving to Microsoft Authenticator with number matching or passkeys.
What is report-only mode?
A Conditional Access setting that evaluates a policy and logs the result without enforcing it, so you can see the impact before turning it on.
What is a break-glass account?
An emergency access account excluded from most policies, protected by strong credentials and monitored, used only if normal admin access fails.
