This is a head scratcher.

My domain account (work account) is set up with the MS Authenticator as the default authentication method.

When I logon to Office365, it prompts me on the Authenticator for verification and then allows me in.

When I logon to Azure Portal, it doesn't prompt me on the Authenticator and I end up having to use the text service.
