Hi folks – apologies for the lack of updates here. This work is still in progress but unfortunately we don’t have an ETA that we can share yet. We will update as soon as we do. Thanks!

Hello Team:
I did a test with the graphic tool , but it remains update user by user, is there a method like a batch that I can use in order to setup more than 1 user?

we plan to bring over 20k Users due to Corona online - Schools - pupils - can you imagine the mess and the struggle with not being able to control this setting? even if we precreate the user and validate their emails, we still can't make sure, that they use the same one for their o365 account - that is simply crazy

We're migrating from on-prem MFA to Azure Cloud MFA and realised that whilst we can use Set-MsolUser to pass the StrongAuthenticationMethods, we still have to manually go down and backfill all user's phone numbers.

We're coming up on 1 year since the last update from Microsoft.
Could we get some information about when this capability will be available?

I've bumped into same issue that my users had incorrect phones numbers in MFA.
This API would help a lot but due to lack of it I've manged to resolve this issue using Selenium with Powershell. It might come in handy folks:

Please can you provide an update, preferably with some sort of timeline? In 4 months we'll be celebrating 4 years since it was originally requested!

I'm also setting it up for 16k+ users and facing this same problem for a community college.
Prepopulating mobilephone field is no option since it has to be hidden according GDPR and there is (also) no way of hiding it. And you don't want students calling teachers on their private phones and vice versa!
So setting Authentication Phone and Authentication Email field with Powershell is the only option. You wrote may 6 2019 that you would update soon... that's 8 months ago! -

+1 from here also. 25k+ users have the necessary mobile phone info at place in AAD, only thing I would need is replicate MobilePhone to ($upn.StrongAuthenticationUserDetails) PhoneNumber. This is possible to do from GUI one user at a time, some automation would be greatly appreciated.

This is a must have for Enterprise Customers. Normally all fields are reachable/modifyable via powershell and/or graph. But in this case the fields can be modified via GUI one by one only. Very uncomfortable.

We want to use our desk phone at the office for MFA. In fact it works, if we use the original (not the new SSPR and MFA combined) method. In that case, the AD field "telephoneNumber" gets propogated to the Office 365 "Office phone" field in the user's contact information. However, in Azure Active Directory > Authentication Methods, there is no field that picks up this number. When I paste the number (+1 905-544-5439 x219) into the "Alternate phone" field I get an "Invalid phone number format" error. This needs to be fixed, or we can't use the combined SSPR/MFA experience. And I can't see the "Authentication phone" field that's being mentioned in this thread. Where is it?
