Turn off passwordless sign in on Microsoft Authenticator and use it instead as a third code authenticator

Question

The authenticator is useless since I receive many notifications from other countries that try to enter my account.

Answer 1

To disable the authentication method for passwordless phone sign-in, complete the following steps:

• Sign in to the Azure portal with a global administrator account.
• Search for and select Azure Active Directory, then browse to Security > Authentication methods > Authentication method policy (Preview)
• Under Passwordless phone sign-in, choose the following options:
• Enable - Yes or No (Select No to disable)
• Target - All users or Select users
• To apply the new policy, select Save.

Also, please elaborate what exactly you meant by 'use as a third code authenticator'. I believed you meant, use it as a third party authenticator app. Do correct me if I am wrong.
