HI Alexander - thanks for the question!

Currently, MFA is managed at the resource tenant - that is the tenant that has invited the B2B user. This allows the organization to work with users with social IDs and with partners that don't have MFA capabilties and partners whose MFA policies that the resource tenant may not trust.

This does mean that if the user has an MFA profile with the partner org already - they will still have to re-register with the resource tenant/inviting organization.

We are looking into enabling the resource tenant to trust certain partner organizations' MFA so that the users from these partner companies do not have to re-register and can use their existing MFA profile.

Hope that helps.
