Hi Kanniga, thanks for reaching out. If Tania Stampor (tstampor)’s guest account is interfering with MFA setup in your tenant, the cleanest fix is to remove the guest object from your Microsoft Entra ID and then re‑invite her (if access is still required) with the correct MFA approach. Please follow the steps below.

Delete the Guest via Microsoft Entra Admin Center (Portal)

Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center: https://entra.microsoft.com (use an account with User Administrator or Privileged Authentication Administrator).

Go to Identity → Users → All users and search for Tania Stampor or the UPN/Email shown on her guest object.

Open the user → select Delete → confirm.

Go to Users → Deleted users, verify Tania is listed (soft‑deleted for 30 days).

If you want to remove immediately, select her in Deleted users → Delete permanently.

Re‑invite (if the user still needs access)

Go to Identity → External Identities → All external identities → New user → Invite user.

Enter Tania’s work email (home tenant address).

If you use Conditional Access for MFA, consider one of these:

Trust MFA from the user’s home tenant using Cross‑tenant access settings (so Tania uses her own tenant’s MFA).

Or require MFA in your tenant and let Tania register an MFA method when she signs in.

Please let me know If you need any additional Information or further assistance on this.
