The macOS system must enforce multifactor authentication for logon.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
The system must be configured to enforce multifactor authentication. All users must go through multifactor authentication to prevent unauthenticated access and potential compromise to the system. IMPORTANT: Modification of Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) now requires user authorization or use of a Privacy Preferences Policy Control (PPPC) profile from MDM that authorizes modifying system administrator files or full disk access. Note: /etc/pam.d/login will be automatically modified to its original state following any update or major upgrade to the operating system.
