Did Azure AD MFA change this weekend?

Did Azure AD Multifactor Authentication change this weekend?  I quit getting the pin to my cell when logging on.  I double checked my settings to make sure there were no changes there.

      I think the issue has cleared ... of not-always-getting-prompted-for-MFA.  Thanks for following up.  And I have not turned on the Enable-Remember-multi-factor-authentication option (see your link in the prior note) 

       

      As of about a week (??) ago, I started getting MFA prompts at more logins.  (Couldn't say if it was all logins because I was not focused on this issue).   

       

      Some factors in the mix ... This issue occurs on my Surface Pro desktop.  This started occurring more when I switched from a Windows Phone to an iPhone.  It is my understanding there is a proximity setting that worked with the MFA and Windows Phone but never confirmed it.  And I always get prompted for MFA on my iPhone.  I have the Authenticator app on my iPhone.

       

      Bottom line, I wanted to understand when/how MFA works.  When I roll this out to the rest of the staff in my shop, I HAVE TO understand it.
