## Overview

The Authentication Methods Manage Migration feature SHALL be set to Migration Complete.

Rationale: To disable the legacy authentication methods screen for the tenant, configure the Manage Migration feature to Migration Complete. The MFA and Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) authentication methods are both managed from a central admin page, thereby reducing administrative complexity and potential security misconfigurations.

#### Remediation action

If phishing-resistant MFA has not been enforced for all users yet, create a Conditional Access policy that enforces MFA but does not dictate MFA method. Configure the following policy settings in the new Conditional Access policy, per the values below:

1. Go through the process of [migrating from the legacy Azure AD MFA and Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) administration pages to the new unified Authentication Methods policy page](https://learn.microsoft.com/entra/identity/authentication/how-to-authentication-methods-manage).
2. Once ready to finish the migration, [set the **Manage Migration** option to **Migration Complete**](https://learn.microsoft.com/entra/identity/authentication/how-to-authentication-methods-manage#finish-the-migration).
