Odd, I just received this email from MS that looks a lot like phishing but seems not to be?
> Action required: Enable multifactor authentication for your tenant by 15 October 2024

Starting 15 October 2024, we will require users to use multifactor authentication (MFA) to sign into the Azure portal, Microsoft Entra admin center, and Intune admin center. To ensure your users maintain access, you’ll need to enable MFA by 15 October 2024.
> If you can’t enable MFA for your users by that date, you’ll need to apply to postpone the enforcement date. If you don’t, your users will be required to set up MFA.

The thing is, I'm not administrating any organization with Microsoft.
I have a private office365 family account or whatever it's called, and I have 2FA set up for my account, I have no idea what they are on about, especially because the email doesn't contain even my name or the name of the supposed organization, just some ID.
Spot on! It was in fact some Azure account I made years ago, in hindsight, it did say to log into the azure portal right in the email. The random UUID instead of salutation threw me off a bit.

It's definitely an Email from Microsoft though.
