- NPS extension versions beginning 1.2.2131.2 will require users to do number matching. Because the NPS extension can’t show a number, the user will be asked to enter a One-Time Passcode (OTP). The user must have an OTP authentication method such as Microsoft Authenticator or software OATH tokens registered to see this behavior. If the user doesn’t have an OTP method registered, they’ll continue to get the **Approve**/**Deny** experience.

Older versions of Microsoft Authenticator prompt users to tap and select a number rather than enter the number in Microsoft Authenticator. These authentications won't fail, but Microsoft highly recommends that users upgrade to the latest version of Microsoft Authenticator if they use Android versions prior to 6.2108.5654, or iOS versions prior to 6.5.82, so they can use number match.
