[removed: Note The Microsoft managed state behavior affects both first-factor and multifactor authentication and is being gradually deployed to tenants through September 2026. If your tenant or users don't experience system-preferred authentication as the first factor when the State is Microsoft managed, the rollout isn't deployed yet for your tenant.]

Microsoft's wording from Microsoft Learn, © Microsoft Corporation, under MIT. ChangeIntel marks removed and added words, drops formatting and shortens long unchanged stretches.

Watch this page or its product to review the latest evidence in My radar. Historical observations cannot record a review of newer evidence.

Observation time is not publication time, and this comparison does not establish an effective date. Full source bodies are not published; this page contains generated summaries, section headings and, as the page's license allows, Microsoft's changed wording. A documentation edit does not confirm feature availability in an environment.
