Best practices for the deployment of shared android devices with Teams The methods to use instead are outlined below. Multi-factor authentication isn't supported with shared devices. Also, if the account must reauthenticate every X days, a shared device can't resolve the challenge without a user's intervention. Shared devices don't generally have a single user that can configure and complete multi-factor authentication. If shared devices are grouped with user accounts or personal devices for a Conditional Access policy, the sign-in will fail.įor example, if multi-factor authentication is required for accessing Teams, user entry of a code is needed to complete that authentication.

Teams from a device, a person's account has a password-expiration policy.

If your organization requires passwords to expire and reset occasionally, these accounts will stop working on Teams devices until a Teams administrator resets the password and signs back in.Ĭhallenge: When it comes to accessing. The accounts used with shared devices don't have a specific user to update and restore them to a working state when their passwords expire.

Devices are signed out due to password policies.Īccounts used on Teams devices have a password-expiration policy.

Applying personal device authentication requirements to shared devices will cause sign in issues. Shared Teams devices can't use the same requirements for enrollment and compliance that are used on personal devices.

Authentication recommendations are different for personal versus shared android devices Policies for Android mobile devices may not apply to Teams Android devices.
