Upcoming Update to Authentication Methods for SMS and Voice Calls – September 8, 2025

Overview

Information Technology Services (ITS) will update authentication method settings in Microsoft Entra to align with upcoming changes from Microsoft. Specifically, configurations for SMS and voice call authentication will be modified on Monday, September 8, from 9:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.

 

What to Expect

There will be no visible impact to users during or after the update.
