# Get-MtUserAuthenticationMethod

Get the authentication methods for the specified user

Source: https://maester.dev/docs/commands/Get-MtUserAuthenticationMethod

## SYNOPSIS

Get the authentication methods for the specified user

## SYNTAX

```powershell
Get-MtUserAuthenticationMethod [-UserId] <Object> [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION

Get the authentication method from the /users/\{id\}/authentication/methods endpoint and
appends the `typeDisplayName` and `isMfa` properties to each authentication method.

The user authentication method returned by Graph is missing key information such as the
display name and whether an auth method is a multi-factor authentication method or not.

This cmdlet also returns an IsMfa status for the overall user object and is set to true
if the user has at least one MFA method enabled.

Note: The overall IsMfa status may not be accurate in tenants that identity federation
or authentication methods like Certificate Based Authentication that don't have a state
registered against the user object.
