We have a SharePoint 2016 environment with form-based and windows authentication users. We want to integrate Azure MFA as an additional authentication method for the users. When we try to install Azure MFA on our servers we notice that providing activation on-premise MFA installation is stopped by Microsoft in July 2019.

Any suggestions to complete this would be really helpful for us.

    Hello @Kani · Thank you for reaching out.

    Yes, new installation of on-premise MFA is deprecated by Microsoft. Now you need to use Azure MFA Service to implement MFA for your on-premises SharePoint server. Which means, you don't have to install MFA on a server in your on-premises environment and you can leverage MFA cloud offering by Microsoft.

    For this purpose, you need to federate your SharePoint server with ADFS and configure Azure MFA as authentication provider with AD FS. All the step-by-step instructions are mentioned in this doc: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/operations/configure-ad-fs-and-azure-mfa
