Starting in September 2025, Microsoft will require multifactor authentication (MFA) for Azure CLI and other command-line tools. This change applies only to Microsoft Entra ID user identities and doesn't affect workload identities such as service principals or managed identities.

If you're using az login with a username and password to authenticate scripts or automated workflows, now is the time to migrate to a workload identity. For more information, see The impact of multifactor authentication on Azure CLI in automation scenarios.
