Vahid, thanks for the links -- however they only address ubuntu VMs running in azure.
@curioustester was asking about ubuntu PC i.e. bare metal install of Ubuntu (not in cloud). While 2FA is possible using Google Authenticator (see https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/configure-ssh-2fa) the question is, would something similar exist for Microsoft Autheticator.
