### General Availability - Follow Azure AD best practices with recommendations

Azure AD recommendations help you improve your tenant posture by surfacing opportunities to implement best practices. On a daily basis, Azure AD analyzes the configuration of your tenant. During this analysis, Azure AD compares the data of a recommendation with the actual configuration of your tenant. If a recommendation is flagged as applicable to your tenant, the recommendation appears in the Recommendations section of the Azure AD Overview.
44
+
45
+
This release includes our first 3 recommendations:
46
+
47
+
- Convert from per-user MFA to Conditional Access MFA
48
+
- Migration applications from AD FS to AAD
49
+
- Minimize MFA prompts from known devices.

### General Availability - Number Matching for Microsoft Authenticator notifications
39
99
100
+
**Type:** Plan for change
101
+
**Service category:** Microsoft Authenticator App
102
+
**Product capability:** User Authentication
103
+
104
+
Microsoft Authenticator app’s number matching feature has been generally available since Nov 2022. If you haven't already leveraged the rollout controls, via the Azure portal and MSGraph APIs, to smoothly deploy number matching for users of Microsoft Authenticator push notifications, we highly encourage you to do so. We previously announced that we'll remove the admin controls and enforce the number match experience tenant-wide for all users of Microsoft Authenticator push notifications starting February 27, 2023. After listening to customers, we'll extend the availability of the rollout controls for a few more weeks. Organizations can continue to use the existing rollout controls until May 8, 2023, to deploy number matching in their organizations. Microsoft services will start enforcing the number matching experience for all users of Microsoft Authenticator push notifications after May 8, 2023. We'll also remove the rollout controls for number matching after that date.
105
+
106
+
If customers don’t enable number match for all Microsoft Authenticator push notifications prior to May 8, 2023, Authenticator users may experience inconsistent sign-ins while the services roll out this change. To ensure consistent behavior for all users, we highly recommend you enable number match for Microsoft Authenticator push notifications in advance.
