Because the NPS extension can't show a number, a user who is enabled for number matching will still be prompted to **Approve**/**Deny**. However, you can create a registry key that overrides push notifications to ask a user to enter a One-Time Passcode (OTP). The user must have an OTP authentication method registered to see this behavior. Common OTP authentication methods include the OTP available in the Authenticator app, other software tokens, and so on.
