| MC499439 | (Updated) Updated Files On-Demand Settings on Windows | This change only affects users who have Files On-Demand enabled. There is no change at this time for users that have the feature disabled from OneDrive settings or by admin policy. Previously, a toggle was shown to allow users to opt out of Files On-Demand. After this change, users who have Files On-Demand enabled will see two buttons: Download files as you open them: This is the default and recommended behavior. New files from the cloud are online-only by default, not taking up disk space. Files are downloaded to the device if a user opens them or chooses the option to "Always keep on this device" from the context menu in File Explorer. Files created on the device are available offline by default. Download all files now: This setting is equivalent to choosing the option to "Always keep on this device" from the context menu in File Explorer for the entire OneDrive folder. Selecting this option causes all files from the cloud to be downloaded, taking up disk space on the device. The behavior of this setting is equivalent to the legacy option of turning off Files On-Demand mode, with some improvements like updated icons. |

| MC523051 | (Updated) Announcing Public preview - System preferred multi-factor authentication method | In this feature, “System preferred multi-factor authentication method,” Microsoft will decide and prompt which among the user’s registered methods should be prompted for 2nd factor. This would be decided on run time and would be the best method of the methods registered at that given point in time. This feature will be off by default, please enable this feature using MSGraph API. Once enabled, users will be required to sign in using the most preferred authentication method available. This is an excellent approach for users to move away from the less secure telephony methods. Presently the feature is in Private preview and the admins have the control to turn the feature On/Off using GraphAPI. The public preview experience will be similar to the private preview where the admins will use the GraphAPI to turn on/off the feature. By the end of March, the admin screen will be available to the user. There would be a toggle available to configure the feature At GA (in April), Microsoft managed will be set to "enable". Admins will have the UX and the toggle available At GA+3 months (July), the toggle will be taken away from them and the feature will be enabled for all by default. |

| MC499030 | (Updated) Reminder: Basic Authentication deprecation in Office Apps | Updated February 9, 2023: We have updated the timing for this change below. Thank you for your patience. This is a reminder that Microsoft 365 Apps are disabling server sign-in prompts using Basic authentication in Office Apps (originally communicated in MC454810, November '22). We are making this change because basic authentication is a legacy authentication method that sends a username and password with each request. As a result, an attacker can access these credentials and use them to access resources. Continued use of Basic Authentication is a big security concern, so we have decided to deprecate it from all tenants. We will retire this feature in Office Apps version 2301+. Instead, we recommend moving to a more secure authentication method, preferably Modern Authentication, and enabling multi-factor authentication based on OAuth2.0 token-based auth. This retirement will not affect Exchange Online and Exchange on-premises. Customers using basic authentication to connect to Exchange on-premises/Exchange Online can continue to use basic authentication without any changes to Exchange. |

Today we are announcing our solution for this challenge: System-preferred authentication for MFA –where we will evaluate at runtime, which is the most secure method for the user, of the methods the user has registered. This will help us move away from the erstwhile concept of the user selecting a ‘default’ method and always being prompted for that method first, even when more secure methods are registered and available.
