Microsoft are previewing a new registration experience for Office 365 Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and self-service password reset (SSPR).
This feature will allow users to register security info for MFA and SSPR in a single experience. This means that when a user registers security info such as their phone number, they can use that phone number when they sign in and when they reset their password (if your settings allow it). In addition, users can change or delete their security info in the same, single experience.
