From Frustration to Efficiency: Solving the MFA Re-Registration Pain Point with Augmentt

If you’re an MSP technician, you’ve likely dealt with the headache of multi-factor authentication (MFA) re-registration more times than you can count. Maybe a client employee has lost their phone, upgraded their device, or simply forgotten their authentication details. Whatever the scenario, MFA re-registration typically triggers frustration it’s repetitive, time-consuming, and distracts from more critical, revenue-driving tasks.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

The Frustration Factor: Why MFA Re-Registration is a Technician’s Nightmare

Every technician knows the scenario all too well: an urgent ticket arrives, and it’s yet another MFA reset request. While the task itself isn’t overly complicated, the sheer frequency and manual process can quickly eat into valuable technician hours.

Consider a common scenario: a client’s employee upgrades their smartphone. Immediately, their existing MFA setup becomes invalid. This initiates a sequence of events:

  1. The employee raises a ticket.
  2. Your technician stops other critical work to respond.
  3. They must manually access the Microsoft 365 admin portal.
  4. Navigate to the user’s settings and initiate the MFA reset.
  5. Guide the user through the re-registration process step-by-step.

Multiply this by dozens or hundreds of clients, and you quickly realize the scale of the problem. It’s not just frustrating; it’s costly.

Manual MFA Re-Registration: Hidden Costs and Risks

While technicians spend their time handling these repetitive tasks, the costs add up rapidly. Every minute spent resetting MFA manually is a minute not spent on proactive security measures, revenue-generating projects, or essential strategic tasks.

Moreover, manual processes increase human error risks. Technicians juggling multiple simultaneous requests may miss critical steps, accidentally granting the wrong permissions, or simply make mistakes due to sheer frustration or distraction. These errors could leave client environments vulnerable, impacting your MSP’s reputation and client trust.

Fortunately, there’s a solution designed specifically to alleviate this common pain point: Augmentt.

The Real Benefits: More Than Just Time Savings

When technicians move from manual MFA re-registration to an automated approach, the benefits extend well beyond just time efficiency. Technicians experience significantly reduced frustration and greater job satisfaction because repetitive tasks are minimized, allowing them to focus on strategic and technically rewarding work.

Efficiency gains aren’t limited to technician satisfaction. Clients also notice quicker response times, fewer disruptions, and a smoother overall experience when requesting MFA resets. Your MSP can deliver enhanced customer satisfaction and service quality with minimal effort.

Additionally, comprehensive logging and tracking provide valuable data for compliance reporting, security audits, and incident management, simplifying your operational oversight and audit preparation.
