Hi guys, I just found out about number matching enforcement with MS Authenticator occurring on May 8th.
My users authenticate with a password and Microsoft Authenticator approval as additional method, we're not using passwordless method. Will my users be prompted to use number matching too or is it only for passwordless users? it was not clear for me...
Thank you in advance.
