# Entra ID external MFA

To connect PingOne as the external authentication provider for multi-factor authentication (MFA) in Entra ID, you must add a Microsoft identity provider (IdP). Learn more about configuring Entra ID as the IdP in [Setting up PingOne SSO and PingID as the external MFA provider for Microsoft Entra ID](../use_cases/p1_set_up_external_mfa_provider_microsoft_entra_use_case.html).
