Azure SQL have created a new authentication method called "Active Directory Universal Authentication". This method supports Azure MFA (2-factors authentication).

This method would be great if it´s possible to have in Remote Desktop Manager with Azure SQL. Probably it´s a small change, because it´s depends on a new version of SSMS.

Active Directory Universal Authentication is an interactive method that also supports Azure Multi-Factor Authentication(MFA). Azure MFA helps safeguard access to data and applications while meeting user demand for a simple sign-in process. It delivers strong authentication with a range of easy verification options—phone call, text message, smart cards with pin, or mobile app notification—allowing users to choose the method they prefer. Interactive MFA with Azure AD can result in a pop-up dialog box for validation.
