It basically allows the use of 6-digit one-time passcodes as part of the login process. It's not needed for either passwordless or number matching scenarios.

dilanmic the docs have been updated with a proper explanation.

It's part of the migration mentioned above.

"If Verification code from mobile app or hardware token is enabled in the legacy MFA policy, set Allow use of Microsoft Authenticator OTP to Yes."
