Login Attempts

Question

I keep getting multiple requests to verify loggining into my account. I use passwordless entry so is there anyway to require 2 forms of authentication, like a password first, before requesting a notification to login as well?

Answer 1

Currently, the Microsoft Authenticator app does not support requiring a password as an initial form of authentication before proceeding with passwordless sign-in. Passwordless authentication is designed to eliminate the need for a password entirely, allowing users to authenticate using a device-based method such as a PIN or biometric verification.

If you are experiencing multiple requests for verification, it may be due to pending notifications or other factors related to your account settings. You can check for any unanswered notifications in the Authenticator app, as this might help reduce the number of verification requests you receive.

For more information on managing your authentication methods and settings, you may want to review the relevant documentation on Microsoft Entra and the Authenticator app.
