The following are sample scenarios where users might be prompted to register or refresh their security info:

101-
- *Multifactor Authentication registration enforced through Identity Protection:* Users are asked to register during sign-in. They register multifactor authentication methods and SSPR methods (if the user is enabled for SSPR).

- *Multifactor Authentication registration enforced through per-user multifactor authentication:* Users are asked to register during sign-in. They register multifactor authentication methods and SSPR methods (if the user is enabled for SSPR).

- *Multifactor Authentication registration enforced through Conditional Access or other policies:* Users are asked to register when they use a resource that requires multifactor authentication. They register multifactor authentication methods and SSPR methods (if the user is enabled for SSPR).

105105
- *SSPR refresh enforced:* Users are required to review their security info at an interval set by the admin. Users are shown their info and can confirm the current info or make changes if needed.
106106

107107
When registration is enforced, users are shown the minimum number of methods needed to be compliant with both multifactor authentication and SSPR policies, from most to least secure. Users going through combined registration where both MFA and SSPR registration is enforced and the SSPR policy requires two methods will first be required to register an MFA method as the first method and can select another MFA or SSPR specific method as the second registered method (e.g. email, security questions etc.)

Consider the following example scenario:
110110

111-
- A user is enabled for SSPR. The SSPR policy requires two methods to reset and has enabled Authenticator app, email, and phone.
111+
- A user is enabled for SSPR. The SSPR policy requires two methods to reset and has enabled Microsoft Authenticator app, email, and phone.
112112
- When the user chooses to register, two methods are required:
113-
- The user is shown Authenticator app and phone by default.
113+
- The user is shown Microsoft Authenticator app and phone by default.
114114
- The user can choose to register email instead of Authenticator app or phone.

When a user tries to set up Microsoft Authenticator can click **I want to setup a different method** to register other authentication methods. The list of available methods is determined by the Authentication methods policy for the tenant.

If you have both multifactor authentication and SSPR enabled, we recommend that you enforce multifactor authentication registration.

If the SSPR policy requires users to review their security info at regular intervals, users are interrupted during sign-in and shown all their registered methods. They can confirm the current info if it's up to date, or they can make changes if they need to. Users must perform multi-factor authentication when accessing this page.
