Has anyone been experiencing this, from late this afternoon I have been getting the multifactor popup when signing into Business Central - however this is disabled on the user in the 365 admin center?

I have the same question (0)

RE: Multi-factor authentication suddenly enabled - but disabled on the user?

In answer to my question it seems that Azure requires both a recovery phone number and external email. I only had a phone number and this was forcing the behavior it seems?

So adding both a recovery email and phone number to the user seems to have stopped this behavior.

Either that or I tried enabling and then disabling the multifactor on the user, but either way seems back to normal now.

There is a free way for any tenant to enable MFA for their entire organization called Baseline Conditional Access Policy. To avoid that, check if someone on your organization has enabled it:
