Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While working on improving user account recovery scenarios, a common challenge often arises: how to securely allow a user to sign in and configure their authentication methods when their usual sign-in mechanisms (such as a mobile device or MFA method) are unavailable.<\/p>\n

To address this, Microsoft offers a feature in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) called the Temporary Access Pass (TAP)<\/strong>, a secure, time-limited passcode that simplifies both the user and admin experience.<\/p>\n

In this blog, we\u2019ll provide a clear overview of TAP, explore its benefits, and walk through how to configure and use it effectively.<\/p>\n

What is a Temporary Access Pass?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A Temporary Access Pass is a time-restricted, system-generated password that enables users to sign in and register their authentication methods \u2014 such as MFA or password-less sign-in \u2014 without needing access to existing methods.<\/p>\n

This is particularly useful in the following scenarios:<\/p>\n
