Decide How Users Select a Verification Method During MFA Registration for Salesforce
Orgs
Optimize how users register identity verification methods for multi-factor authentication
(MFA) and device activation, based on the methods you want to prioritize. If you’re supporting
multiple verification methods, you can start with a list of all options for users to choose
from. Or, if you want to prioritize built-in authenticators, you can present that option
first.

verification: built-in authenticators, security keys, Salesforce Authenticator,
third-party authenticator apps.
Best if you’re supporting multiple types of methods, including built-in authenticators, security
keys, and authenticator apps.
