This would be really useful if the user sign-up flow was actually compatible with MFA. In a scenario where MFA is applied to sign-ins a user is unable to create an account, and, instead gets a message that the user does not exist. This should never happen when I have a user sign-up flow, instead the user should be prompted to create an account. However, it appears that MFA gets in the way by being triggered first, rather than the sign-up flow being triggered first.

Microsoft support say this is "expected behaviour"!
