2222 Before enabling the new experience, review this administrator-focused documentation and the user-focused documentation to ensure you understand the functionality and effect of this feature. Base your training on the [user documentation](https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/set-up-your-security-info-from-a-sign-in-prompt-28180870-c256-4ebf-8bd7-5335571bf9a8) to prepare your users for the new experience and help to ensure a successful rollout.

8484 ### Interrupt mode
8585
86 −Combined registration adheres to both multifactor authentication and SSPR policies, if both are enabled for your tenant. These policies control whether a user is interrupted for registration during sign-in and which methods are available for registration. If only an SSPR policy is enabled, then users will be able to skip (indefinitely) the registration interruption and complete it at a later time.

8888 The following are sample scenarios where users might be prompted to register or refresh their security info:

⋯ 3 unchanged lines
9393 - *SSPR registration enforced:* Users are asked to register during sign-in. They register only SSPR methods.
9494 - *SSPR refresh enforced:* Users are required to review their security info at an interval set by the admin. Users are shown their info and can confirm the current info or make changes if needed.
9595
96 −When registration is enforced, users are shown the minimum number of methods needed to be compliant with both multifactor authentication and SSPR policies, from most to least secure. Users going through combined registration where both MFA and SSPR registration are enforced and the SSPR policy requires two methods will first be required to register an MFA method as the first method and can select another MFA or SSPR specific method as the second registered method (such as email, security questions, and so on)

100 −- A user is enabled for SSPR. The SSPR policy requires two methods to reset and has enabled Microsoft Authenticator app, email, and phone.
100 +- A user is enabled for SSPR. The SSPR policy requires two methods to reset and is enabled Microsoft Authenticator app, email, and phone.
101101 - When the user chooses to register, two methods are required:
102102 - The user is shown Microsoft Authenticator app and phone by default.
103103 - The user can choose to register email instead of Authenticator app or phone.
104104
105 −When they set up Microsoft Authenticator, the user can click **I want to setup a different method** to register other authentication methods. The list of available methods is determined by the Authentication methods policy for the tenant.

122122 ### Session controls for Combined Registration
123 −By default Combined registration enforces all MFA capable users to strongly authenticate prior to registering or managing their security info. If a user is currently signed in and has previously completed MFA as part of a valid session, no additional MFA will be required by default, unless a user is attempting to add or modify a passkey (FIDO2) method. Adding or modifying a passkey (FIDO2) method requires users to have strongly authenticated within the past 5 minutes. If MFA hasn't been completed in the past 5 minutes, the user will be asked to sign-in and complete fresh MFA. Organizations can modify the authentication requirements by defining [Conditional Access policies for securing security info registration.](~/identity/conditional-access/policy-all-users-security-info-registration.md).

125 −Combined registration sessions are only valid for 15 minutes. If a users registration or management actions take longer than this time period, the session will expire and the user will be asked to sign back in to continue.

129129 ### Change a password in MySignIns
130 −A user navigates to [Security info](https://aka.ms/mysecurityinfo). After signing in, the user can change their password. If the user authenticates with a password and a multifactor authentication method, they will be able to use the enhanced user experience to change their password without entering their existing password. When finished, the user has the new password updated on the Security info page. Authentication methods such as Temporary Access Pass (TAP) aren't supported for password change unless the user knows their existing password.

The user then follows the steps shown in the wizard to set up the required security info. If your settings allow it, the user can choose to set up methods other than those shown by default. After users complete the wizard, they review the methods they set up and their default method for multifactor authentication. To complete the setup process, the user confirms the info and continues to the Microsoft Entra admin center.

153 −If a user has partially satisfied MFA or SSPR registration due to existing authentication method registrations performed by the user or admin, users will only be asked to register additional information allowed by the Authentication methods policy settings when registration is required. If more than one other authentication method is available for the user to choose and register, an option on the registration experience titled **I want to set up another method** will be shown and allow the user to set up their desired authentication method.
