User authentication for Azure single sign-on is a necessary security measure that we use to protect systems and information, and to self-manage password resets. Authentication is currently an optional step when a user account is created.  

We will be implementing mandatory self-service authentication to new users and any existing users from 1 August 2022. We encourage all existing users who have not yet completed their Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) step to do so before it becomes mandatory. Steps to complete the MFA can be found here.  

As part of our ongoing maintenance, we will be regularly reviewing the user list each month.  Any users who have not logged into one of the affected systems within the previous 12 months will be deleted.  

A revised list of users who have not yet authenticated their account can be obtained from your Service Delivery Manager or implementation@chorus.co.nz.
