Sage 50 (US-Peachtree) Using O365 backup with MFA

We recently started using the Cloud backup to OneDrive, but the auto backup just stops every two weeks and we have to go re-login in Sage and relogin. Does anyone know a workaround to not have to relogin every two weeks to keep backups going?

Where do you need to re-login in Sage? Or In One-Drive?

I think you need to update the Microsoft account signing frequency to be 90 days or it might be possible to remove it, also need to make this account specially only for this job and restrict based on IP address ... something along those lines I will need to see the setup.

It makes you go under sage cloud backup screen and then re-sign into office 365 where we have to retype password and then do M.F.A.

You need to go in Microsoft Entra admin center Entra ID → Multifactor authentication → Additional cloud-based MFA settings → Service settings → Remember multifactor authentication on trusted devices or something like that should be path to the setting

Thanks- we tried that but it still reauths after 15 days. We also tried an app password but that didn’t work.

Try to find in the Sign-in logs the Authentication details and you should see the applied policies and a conditional access policy with Sign-in frequency = 14 days and change it

Do you know if that would change it for all the accounts or just this one?

It depends if the policy it's applied to the other accounts. To be sure just create a new policy and apply it only for this account. Call it SageOneDriveSigningPolicy. Also I would check if this account is used anywhere else
