Azure MFA Phase 2 refers to Microsoft's second phase of mandatory multifactor authentication enforcement, extending beyond Azure web admin consoles to the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) control plane. This phase covers Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, REST management APIs, mobile clients, and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools.

Discussions on WindowsForum cover the operational and architectural implications, including steps for compliance and potential risks of non-compliance.
