In this demonstration we're going to perform some basic MFA management for one of our users. What we'll do is require Lester Murphy to re-provide his contact methods. Ahead of this demonstration, I set up Lester Murphy in my Azure AD to use MFA. Before we make any changes, let's open an incognito browser window here and log in as Lester so you can see how MFA login works before we force him to re-provide his contact info. As you could see here when I log in as Lester, I'm prompted for a verification code which was sent to my phone that was set up earlier. This is normal operation of MFA when configured to use SMS text. Let's see what happens when we force Lester to re-provide his contact information. To get started, let's switch back over to our Azure Portal and click over here on Azure Active Directory. What we want to do is manage MFA settings. So we'll click users. And then, we'll ensure that we are in the all users pane. On the right side here, let's click multi-factor authentication on the toolbar along the top to open the multi-factor authentication page. Let's check the box next to Lester's account so we can configure settings for his account only. From here we can begin managing Lester's settings by selecting manage user settings. For this exercise, we're going to force Lester to provide his contact methods again. Let's save our settings and then close out. Now that I've configured MFA to force Lester to re-provide his contact methods, let's see what happens when we log in with his account. To do so, let's open an incognito window and log in as Lester. As you can see on your screen, Lester is no longer prompted to just supply a verification code. He is actually being prompted to re-provide his phone information instead. This confirms that our MFA changes for Lester have had the desired effect.
