I manage a few microsoft accounts, and all of them I use microsoft authenticator 'passwordless'. All of them except for my main personal account will prompt to match a number on the screen. My main account will instead just show 2 buttons on my phone - Approve - Disapprove - and on the logging in screen will only say to approve the sign-in from my phone. Clicking Approve moves forward with a successful sign-in. This is troubling because there's not much more information shown to know if it's my request or someone else with really good timing.
How can I change the one account to do a number match authentication?
