Number matching and password authentication

Question

Number matching and password authentication

Nicolas Ch 40

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.
