Why Windows login MFA?
Usernames and passwords are easy to compromise. Without Active Directory MFA, every login is vulnerable. The problem is, Active Directory doesn’t offer native MFA beyond smartcards and PIK.
IT teams have to choose between managing PowerShell scripts, adopting cloud-first identity tools not built for on-prem environments, or ignoring the gap.
A critical part of a strong identity and access management (IAM) program, Windows login MFA is a key defense against data breaches and unauthorized access.
How UserLock MFA secures Windows logins
Now you can enforce MFA right where it matters most, at the Windows logon, without adding complexity for your users or infrastructure. With UserLock, you apply MFA directly at the Active Directory authentication layer, giving you control over every login attempt across your environment.
Instead of forcing a new identity provider or duplicating your AD directory, enhance the one you already use: the on-prem Active Directory.
How Windows login MFA works
UserLock 2FA for Windows looks and feels like part of the native Windows logon process. There's no new training needed, and no loss of visibility.
It’s fast to deploy, simple to scale, and low-effort to manage. Since policy enforcement sits at the AD authentication layer, Windows logons stay protected at every entry point, even in offline scenarios.
Secure every Windows login (workstation, RDP, IIS, VPN, SaaS, and UAC prompts)
Extend on-prem identity authentication to SaaS with single sign-on (SSO)
See, protect, and manage all access in one place
Easy deployment alongside on-premise Active Directory
Seamless integration with Active Directory and visibility on existing AD machines, users, groups, and organizational units (OUs)
Quick setup with the ability to apply MFA by AD user, group or OU
Low friction since you can allow end users to skip configuration until a set date for smooth, flexible MFA enrollment
Effective security with the ability to automatically detect new endpoints, from wherever users connect, and immediately apply MFA restrictions
Granular control over when and how to prompt for MFA
By connection type (local logins and RDP sessions)
By workstation and/or server connections
By frequency and circumstances of authentication requests
And more...
MFA for all conditions
Secure on-site user access for Windows logins
Secure remote access via Remote Desktop and RDP MFA, Windows VPN, and VDI
Enforce offline MFA even when users’ devices aren’t connected to the internet, allowing authentication via hardware tokens or keys, authenticator applications or TOTP codes
Enable off-domain MFA for remote users not connected to the LAN. Even when users don’t connect to the corporate network and/or don’t use a VPN, UserLock can still require MFA thanks to UserLock Anywhere
MFA on all connection types
