android device registration for phone signin

Question

My understanding is, I can register my android phone with more than one Azure-AD tenants through MS-authenticator app. As we know, for phone-signin "device registration" is mandatory.

This way, I can do phone-signin with my two account in two tenant.

However, I could not enroll my android phone for "phone signin" as device did not register in second AAD-tenant.

I thought after iOS, now Android platform is also allowed to be registered in multiple AAD tenants.

Any help ?

Answer 1

@testuser7, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based as I know, it is not possible to register an Android device with multiple Azure AD tenants for phone sign-in using Microsoft Authenticator. The Authenticator app requires device registration, and a device can only be registered with a single tenant. Therefore, it is not possible to use the same device for phone sign-in with two different tenants.

Thanks for your understanding.

@Crystal-MSFT @Shweta Mathur Not fully resolved. Yes, I understand that we can not do Phone-signin with multiple tenants on Android.However, if we take out phone-signin, can we just register android phone with more than one tenants ?? I believe we can because I have read on MS doc that this is now possible.
