About MFA labs

How many MFA labs are there?

There are 3 MFA labs on Identity Bytes Labs, taking about 5.3 hours in total.

Where should I start with MFA?

Start with "Move Off SMS". Plan and validate a controlled migration from SMS to Microsoft Authenticator without locking anyone out.

Do I need a production tenant?

No. Every lab is designed for a free, disposable Microsoft Entra test tenant. Never run lab steps against an environment people depend on.
