## Overview

If Microsoft Authenticator is enabled, it SHALL be configured to show login context information.

Rationale: This policy helps protect the tenant when Microsoft Authenticator is used by showing user context information, which helps reduce MFA phishing compromises.

#### Remediation action:

If Microsoft Authenticator is in use, configure Authenticator to display context information to users when they log in.

1. In Entra ID, click Security > [Authentication Methods](https://entra.microsoft.com/#view/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/AuthenticationMethodsMenuBlade/~/AdminAuthMethods/fromNav/Identity) > **Microsoft Authenticator**.
2. Click the **Configure tab**.
3. For **Allow use of Microsoft Authenticator OTP** select **No**.
4. Under Show application name in push and passwordless notifications select Status > **Enabled** and Target > Include > **All users**.
5. Under Show geographic location in push and passwordless notifications select Status > **Enabled** and Target > Include > **All users**.
6. Select **Save**.
