The latest NPS extension doesn't support number matching, but it does support One-Time Passwords (OTP) methods such as the OTP available in Microsoft Authenticator, other software tokens, and hardware FOBs. Make sure you run the latest version of the [NPS extension](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=54688).

Although NPS doesn't support number matching, the latest NPS extension does support One-Time Password (OTP) methods such as the OTP available in Microsoft Authenticator, other software tokens, and hardware FOBs. OTP sign-in provides better security than the **Approve**/**Deny** experience that NPS extension users see otherwise. Make sure you run the latest version of the [NPS extension](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=54688).

After Feb 27, 2023, when number matching is enabled for all users, anyone who performs a RADIUS connection with NPS extension version 1.2.2216.1 or later will be prompted to sign in with an OTP method instead. The NPS Server where the NPS extension is installed must be configured to use PAP protocol.

If your organization uses Remote Desktop Gateway and the user is registered for OTP code along with Microsoft Authenticator push notifications, the user won't be able to meet the Azure AD MFA challenge and Remote Desktop Gateway sign-in will fail. In this case, you can set OVERRIDE_NUMBER_MATCHING_WITH_OTP = FALSE to fall back to **Approve**/**Deny** push notifications with Microsoft Authenticator.
