Hi Training Services Partners,
We have updated the Frequently Asked Questions document to include more information as well as customer messaging that you can use with your customers. You can access it here: https://aka.ms/WWLMFA . We will be providing translations by next week as well.
Thank you for your partnership.

Couldn't you at least enable MFA but allow SMS text messages to be used instead of an authenticator app?
I agree with Mario's points. This just makes things more difficult in class for no increase in security in a training environment.

MicrosoftHI Annette,
No, the security measures in place require an authenticator app. SMS text messaging and phone
call authentication methods are vulnerable to phishing attacks resulting in identity compromise,
so they cannot be used. To improve Microsoft’s security posture, more secure authentication
methods must be used.
