Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Authentication methods policies define authentication methods and the users that are allowed to use them to sign in and perform multi-factor authentication (MFA) in Microsoft Entra ID. Authentication methods policies that can be managed in Microsoft Graph include FIDO2 Security Keys and Passwordless Phone Sign-in with Microsoft Authenticator app.

The authentication method policies APIs are used to manage policy settings. For example:

  • Define the types of FIDO2 security keys that can be used in the Microsoft Entra tenant.
  • Define the users or groups of users who are allowed to use FIDO2 Security Keys or Passwordless Phone Sign-in to sign in to Microsoft Entra ID.
  • Define the users or groups of users who should be reminded to set up the Microsoft Authenticator for MFA using push notifications.
