Which Additional Security Verifications Can Admin1 Use When Accessing the Azure Portal?

A

The correct answer is A, "a phone call, a text message that contains a verification code, and a notification or a verification code sent from the Microsoft Authenticator app."

Explanation: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security feature in Azure that requires users to provide additional forms of authentication beyond a username and password to verify their identity. This helps protect against unauthorized access to user accounts, even if the user's password is compromised.

When the MFA status for a user is set to 6, it means that the user is required to use at least two of the available MFA methods when accessing Azure resources. The available MFA methods include:

1. Phone call: The user receives an automated phone call with a verification code that they must enter to verify their identity.

2. Text message: The user receives a text message with a verification code that they must enter to verify their identity.

3. Notification from the Microsoft Authenticator app: The user receives a notification on their mobile device from the Microsoft Authenticator app, which they can approve or deny to verify their identity.

4. Verification code from the Microsoft Authenticator app: The user opens the Microsoft Authenticator app on their mobile device and enters a verification code to verify their identity.

Option A is the correct answer because it lists all three available MFA methods that the user can use to access the Azure portal. Option B is incorrect because it includes an app password, which is not an available MFA method in Azure. Option C is incorrect because it includes an app message, which is not an available MFA method in Azure. Option D is incorrect because it includes an email message, which is not an available MFA method in Azure.
