+Although NPS doesn't support number matching, the latest NPS extension does support time-based one-time password (TOTP) methods such as the TOTP available in Microsoft Authenticator, other software tokens, and hardware FOBs.

However, you can create a registry key that overrides push notifications to ask a user to enter a One-Time Passcode (OTP).

Common OTP authentication methods include the OTP available in the Authenticator app, other software tokens, and so on.
