Additional Information

The way the PC / IN Client is written to handle Multi-Factor Authentication it cannot remember the ‘yes / no’ prompt.

So the Client will require Multi-Factor authentication every time.

MinnState is not able to suppress that ‘yes / no’ prompt either.

The client timeout period is currently 75 minutes. So inactivity of 75 min will log the user out of the client.

Experience is already enforcing Multi-Factor Authentication, so nothing to do there.

Timeout for Experience has always been 30 minutes.

Experience can remember the ‘yes / no’ prompt, so will behave like your Office 365 Multi-Factor Authentication.
