In an Azure AD B2C tenant, most apps want the user to sign-in with any arbitrary email address (for example, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected]). This type of account is a local account. We also support arbitrary user names as local accounts (for example, joe, bob, sarah, or jim). You can choose one of these two local account types when configuring identity providers for Azure AD B2C in the Azure portal. In your Azure AD B2C tenant, select **Identity providers**, select **Local account**, and then select **Username**.

User accounts for applications must always be created through a sign-up user flow, sign-up or sign-in user flow, or by using the Azure AD Graph API. User accounts created in the Azure portal are only used for administering the tenant.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a great way to secure your organization, but users get frustrated with the additional layer on top of having to remember their passwords. Passwordless authentication methods are more convenient because the password is removed and replaced with something you have plus something you are or something you know.
