I am helping one of our employees set up MFA, but it's getting stuck when adding his phone number as an authentication method (for text messages).

Correlation ID: 903e9903-0545-48f1-a888-f4b743c86a3f

How can we get this working?

    • Microsoft Authenticator
    • Authenticator Lite (in Outlook)
    • Windows Hello for Business
    • FIDO2 security key
