Over the last few years, Microsoft has been enforcing the second factor for its cloud customers. Rumour has it that this could cause IT trainers some sleepless nights, as it is becoming increasingly difficult to demonstrate M365/Azure and similar online services in a classroom environment.

You may rely on your lab hoster. But let's be honest: courses based on standardised lab environments often have the charm of animated GIFs. Outside of a very narrow path, you have little to no chance of showing more advanced topics or answering your students' questions in a practical way. Imagine you are demonstrating Docker and just want to quickly show off Azure App Service. How can you give everyone access without wasting endless time on logging in?

From TOTP to passkeys and from Fido 2 tokens to QR codes, we explore simple tricks to help you and your students effortlessly connect to the online world.

Nothing but trouble with the 2nd factor? It does not have to be that way!
