Hi All,

In January 2024, the legacy multifactor authentication and self-service password reset policies will be deprecated and you'll manage all authentication methods here in the authentication methods policy. Use this control to manage your migration from the legacy policies to the new unified policy.

How to migrate MFA and SSPR policy settings to the Authentication methods policy for Azure AD (preview)

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/how-to-authentication-methods-manage

First review current Policies:

MFA policy
SSPR policy (if used)
Authentication methods policy (if used)

Enable "Allow use of Microsoft Authenticator OTP"

Let's start the Migration

Let's try to finish the Migration

Apparently, we need to remove the Authentication Methods in MFA and SSPR.

Remove the Authentication Methods in Legacy MFA Portal

Remove Authentication Methods im SSPR

Let's try again to finish the Migration

This time it has worked

Regards
