Follow the[best practices for a pilot](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/active-directory-deployment-plans) for bulk UPN changes. Also have a tested rollback plan for reverting UPNs if you find issues that can't be quickly resolved. Once your pilot is running, you can start targeting small sets of users with various organizational roles and their specific sets of apps or devices.

[Software as a service (SaaS)](https://azure.microsoft.com/overview/what-is-saas/) and Line of Business (LoB) applications often rely on UPNs to find users and store user profile information, including roles. Applications that use [Just in Time provisioning](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/app-provisioning/user-provisioning) to create a user profile when users sign in to the app for the first time can be affected by UPN changes.

The Microsoft Authenticator app offers an out-of-band verification option. Instead of placing an automated phone call or SMS to the user during sign-in, [Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/authentication/concept-mfa-howitworks) pushes a notification to the Microsoft Authenticator app on the user's smartphone or tablet. The user simply taps Approve (or enters a PIN or biometric and taps "Authenticate") in the app to complete their sign-in.
