In my azure tenant I have a guest user. I would like for that user to be able to sign in using their company account (gmail). I added Google as Identity provider, and enabled Email as alternate login ID. What more do I need to do? In the user page email is disabled by policy as authentication method.

    Hi @Marc
    Thank you for posting this in Microsoft Q&A.
    I understand you want to enable guest login using their alternate email.
    Email is not a supported method for MFA, it's only usable for Password reset authentication only. You'll need to choose a different method for two-factor verification.
    To Add Google as an identity provider for guest users please refer below document https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/external-id/google-federation
    Sign-in to Microsoft Entra ID with email as an alternate login ID
