Choosing MFA for Active Directory?

Ask these 15 questions before you commit.

Not every MFA solution plays well with on-prem and hybrid Active Directory setups.

Choose a solution that works with, not against, your existing infrastructure, and you’ll reduce complexity down the line.

This checklist helps you ask the right technical questions upfront, so you can quickly find out if an MFA solution will:

  • Integrate cleanly with Active Directory

  • Protect high-risk connection types like RDP, VPN, and IIS

  • Work without depending on cloud (internet) or LAN connectivity

  • Lower friction for users and minimize IT overhead

  • Adapt to real-world AD complexity

    I've tested several 2FA software. In the end, I stuck with UserLock because it requires no administrative effort. I really like the reports and the control of who is connected to which device.
