I have a MS company account using Office 365 (so myname@mydomain.com is my account), and I use Office, Azure, and Visual Studio Team Services.

However, I cannot find anywhere how to enable 2FA for this account. I can set up 2FA for my normal, personal, windows live Id using this page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/two-step-verification-faq.

But that doesnt work for company accounts.

Anyone knows if this is possible? thanks!

What you need is Multi-Factor Authentication for Azure Active Directory. It is part of AAD Premium features. You can read how to enable and configure it here. And more info on it here.

UPDATE

As per documentation:

Multi-Factor Authentication is now included with Premium and can help you to secure access to on-premises applications (VPN, RADIUS, etc.),

As well as per this documentation:

Azure Multi Factor Authentication is included in Azure Active Directory Premium and as a result it is also included with the Enterprise Mobility Suite

Note: MFA is (at least was) possible with the free AAD but only for the Global Admins in the directory, or for Subscription Administrators within an Azure Subscription.

  • According to the MS guy who answered [my forum post](https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/043f644d-f582-4156-8418-a421d8f2be5c/who-are-administrators-of-an-azure-subscription-for-mfa-purposes?forum=windowsazureactiveauthentication) MFA is free for all AAD admin roles, not just Global Admins. – BenV Feb 22 '15 at 05:05

    I have some more information available in a blog post I published last month: http://www.edsquared.com/2015/01/17/Securing+Your+Visual+Studio+Online+Account+With+MultiFactor+Authentication.aspx – Ed Blankenship Feb 23 '15 at 18:37
