Summary
Number matching is now a part of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in order to prevent MFA fatigue attacks. When cybercriminals flood a specific person with MFA mobile push notifications, the targeted individual may be more prone to approve a MFA request that was initiated by the cybercriminals. Microsoft has enabled this now to make accounts more secure.
Body
1. If your default authentication method is set to push notifications with the Microsoft Authenticator mobile app, you will see some changes with your Lakeland account now through a web browser or when utilizing Microsoft Teams. You will now have to enter in a code that is displayed when using the Microsoft Authenticator App.
2. You will still receive the push notification to your default device, but will be prompted to enter in the matching code that is displayed on your screen. As long as the push notification was initiated by you, enter in the code on your screen then select Yes to approve the sign-in. You may still be prompted for your device's additional security options such as fingerprint or device pin/pattern. You will then be successfully signed into your account.
