To simplify and secure signin to applications and services, Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) provides multiple authentication options. SMS-based authentication lets users signin without providing, or even knowing, their user name and password. After their account is created by an identity administrator, they can enter their phone number at the sign-in prompt. They receive an authentication code via text message that they can provide to complete the signin. This authentication method simplifies access to applications and services, especially for Frontline workers.
