You are the administrator for a Microsoft Entra ID tenant. You configure a Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) policy that requires users to use at least two methods to reset their password. You enable the following authentication methods for SSPR:
- Email
- Mobile app notification
- Mobile app code
A user named User1 is in the group scoped for SSPR. User1 installs the Microsoft Authenticator app on their smartphone and registers it for both notifications and verification codes. User1 does not register any other authentication methods.
When User1 attempts to reset their password, they receive an error indicating they have not registered the required number of authentication methods.
What is the cause of this issue?
- The Microsoft Authenticator app notification and verification code are considered a single authentication method category, so User1 has only registered one method.Cevap
- BThe SSPR policy requires the user to be assigned a Microsoft Entra ID P2 license to use mobile app notifications and verification codes as two separate methods.
- CUser1 must be assigned a Directory Readers or Guest Inviter administrative role to use the Microsoft Authenticator app for SSPR.
- DUser1's account must be placed within an Administrative Unit that has SSPR policies explicitly delegated to local administrators.
Cevap
The Microsoft Authenticator app notification and verification code are considered a single authentication method category, so User1 has only registered one method.
The correct answer is that the Microsoft Authenticator app notifications and verification codes are both part of the mobile app authentication method category. When a Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) policy requires two methods, the user must register two distinct categories of methods (such as Email and Mobile App). Registering two different options within the same category (e.g., both notification and verification code via the Authenticator app) only counts as one registered method.
