break-glass

About this tag
The break-glass tag on WindowsForum.com covers emergency access procedures for Azure environments, particularly in the context of Microsoft's mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA) enforcement. Discussions focus on preparing for Phase 2 MFA rollout, which extends authentication requirements to Azure Resource Manager (ARM) control plane operations, including CLI, PowerShell, REST APIs, and Infrastructure-as-Code tools. Topics include planning migration strategies, avoiding service disruption, and maintaining identity security as the new perimeter. The tag is relevant for administrators, DevOps teams, and SREs managing Azure tenants who need to implement break-glass accounts or contingency access methods to ensure operational continuity during MFA enforcement.
