Outlook Web App (OWA) 2FA

This guide shows how you can set up Outlook Web App two-factor authentication (OWA 2FA) using the Protectimus Cloud MFA service or Protectimus On-Premise MFA Platform.

Adding multi-factor authentication to the Outlook Web App protects users’ accounts from unauthorized access and such hacking attacks as brute force, data spoofing, phishing, social engineering, keyloggers, etc.
