Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator — Question 19

You have a Microsoft 365 tenant.
All users have mobile phones and laptops.
The users frequently work from remote locations that do not have Wi-Fi access or mobile phone connectivity. While working from the remote locations, the users connect their laptop to a wired network that has internet access.
You plan to implement multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Which MFA authentication method can the users use from the remote location?

Answer options

• A. a notification through the Microsoft Authenticator app
• B. email
• C. security questions
• D. a verification code from the Microsoft Authenticator app

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because users can receive a verification code from the Microsoft Authenticator app even when they are connected to the internet via a wired connection. Option A requires the app to send a push notification, which may not be reliable in remote locations without mobile connectivity. Options B and C do not provide the same level of security as MFA and may not be suitable for authentication in this context.
