User impact: Some users may experience issues accessing Microsoft 365 services, particularly during sign‑in or authentication.
More Info: Customers in North America who leverage Cisco/Duo in their MFA sign-in flow were impacted.
Final status: We've confirmed that the reported impact has been mitigated. Our investigation determined that Microsoft services were operating as expected throughout the incident. We’ve confirmed with a third‑party authentication provider (Cisco/Duo) that a fix deployed within their environment has resolved the issue, and we’re seeing successful authentication attempts.
Scope of impact: This issue may have affected any user within your organization leveraging MFA for sign-in. We've confirmed the following region(s) were impacted by this issue: North America. Additional impacted region(s) may be included as our investigation continues.
Start time: Monday, February 23, 2026, at 2:00 PM UTC
End time: Monday, February 23, 2026, at 4:38 PM UTC
Preliminary root cause: A third‑party authentication provider experienced an issue within their environment, which resulted in authentication failures when users attempted to sign in to Microsoft services that depend on that provider.
Next steps: This incident is considered resolved by a third-party without Microsoft action. We’ll continue to monitor service telemetry to ensure ongoing stability.
This is the final update for the event.
