 In the *Remediation* phase that follows, the user is challenged with MFA. Once complete, Azure AD B2C informs Identity Protection that the identified sign-in threat has been remediated and by which method. In this example, Azure AD B2C signals that the user has successfully completed the multifactor authentication challenge.
 The remediation may also happen through other channels. For example, when the account's password is reset, either by the administrator or by the user. You can check the user *Risk state* in the [risky users report](identity-protection-investigate-risk.md#navigating-the-risky-users-report).
