Which methods people may register and use, from the tenant's authentication methods policy, against what's recommended for a small business.

SettingCurrentRecommendedWhy
Methods managed in this policy (not the old MFA and SSPR settings)YesYesMicrosoft has retired the old per-user MFA and SSPR method settings.

Authentication strengths in Conditional Access 0

No Conditional Access policy requires an authentication strength. Start with one requiring Phishing-resistant MFA for admin roles, once admins have a passkey.

When each enabled member's password was last set. An old password matters most without MFA; an account that has never signed in may still have the password it was created with. Problems first, then oldest first.

Password expiry policy 3

CSV

How often cloud-only accounts on each domain must change their password. Microsoft and the NCSC now advise against regular expiry when everyone has MFA: forced changes lead to weaker, predictable passwords. Accounts synced from on-premises AD follow AD's policy instead.
