Hi @testuser7

Thank you for posting this in Microsoft Q&A.

I understand your query regarding Sign-in Frequency evaluation and the validity of a specific flow-chart after the introduction of Authentication-Strength.

Yes, this flow-chart still valid after the advent of Authentication-Strength.

Authentication strength is a Conditional Access control that specifies which combinations of authentication methods can be used to access a resource. we can use Built-in and create custom authentication strengths. Users can satisfy the strength requirements by authenticating with any of the allowed combinations. If a user tries to access a resource using an authentication method that is not included in the allowed combinations, they will be denied access.

Sign-in frequency is a setting that defines the time period before a user is asked to sign in again when attempting to access a resource. Administrators can select a period of time (hours or days) or choose to require reauthentication every time. The sign-in frequency setting is applied to all authentication methods that are supported by the app or service, regardless of whether they are included in the allowed combinations specified by the authentication strength policy.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

Thanks,

Navya.
