I have an user that has no telephone number in her properties page, nonetheless when she tries to login it asks her send an sms or phone call to an unknown number.

In other users, I tried to delete that same information and, although it no longer shows in the azure platform, in teams I can still see the erased phone number.

How/Where can I manage and erase the users contact number?

    That did solve one problem, they can now access their account, tks.

    How about the other question? How can I hide the telephone contact from one user to the other users?

    Hi @Bruno Henrique Agostinho

    Good to hear that solved your issue for MFA.

    The phone number for MFA and contact information are not the same thing.

    This as been asked before.

    Please have a look at the following thread.
