**MFA server** - End users enabled for multi-factor authentication through an organization's on-premises MFA server can create and use a single passwordless phone sign-in credential. If the user attempts to upgrade multiple installations (5 or more) of the Authenticator app with the credential, this change may result in an error.

**Device registration** - To use the Authenticator app for passwordless authentication, the device must be registered in the Azure AD tenant and can't be a shared device. A device can only be registered in a single tenant. This limit means that only one work or school account is supported for phone sign-in using the Authenticator app.

The email you send should be determined by how you configure your users for two-step verification. For example, if you are able to import phone numbers from the company directory, the email should include the default phone numbers so that users know what to expect. If you do not import phone numbers, or your users are going to use the mobile app, send them an email that directs them to complete their account enrollment.

The content of the email also varies depending on the method of verification that has been set for the user (phone call, SMS, or mobile app). For example, if the user is required to use a PIN when they authenticate, the email tells them what their initial PIN has been set to. Users are required to change their PIN during their first verification.
