## Overview

Require multifactor authentication (MFA) registration for all users. Based on studies, your account is more than 99% less likely to be compromised if you're using MFA. Even if you don't require MFA all the time, this policy ensures your users are ready when it's needed.

## Remediation

- [Configure the multifactor authentication registration policy](https://learn.microsoft.com/entra/id-protection/howto-identity-protection-configure-mfa-policy?wt.mc_id=zerotrustrecommendations_automation_content_cnl_csasci)

## Run it

The check runs as part of the whole assessment, with the ZeroTrustAssessment module installed:

```powershell
Install-Module ZeroTrustAssessment -Scope CurrentUser
Connect-Maester
Invoke-Maester -Pack ZTA -SkipBuiltIn
```

Leave out `-SkipBuiltIn` to run Maester's own checks in the same run.
