Answer
Verification code: User3 and User4 only
Text: User1 only
Explanation
For Verification Code method:
- This requires either a Software OATH token or Microsoft Authenticator app
- Looking at the users:
- User1: Only has mobile phone – NOT eligible
- User2: Has Software OATH token but not shown in available methods – NOT eligible
- User3: Has Software OATH token and Authenticator app – ELIGIBLE
- User4: Has Software OATH token and Authenticator app – ELIGIBLE
- Therefore, only User3 and User4 will be prompted for verification codes
For Text method:
- This requires mobile phone registration
- Looking at the users:
- User1: Has mobile phone registered – ELIGIBLE
- User2: No mobile phone – NOT eligible
- User3: No mobile phone – NOT eligible
- User4: No mobile phone (has passwordless phone sign-in, but this is different) – NOT eligible
- Therefore, only User1 will be prompted for text verification
The correct answer is:
- Verification code: User3 and User4 only
- Text: User1 only
This matches the scenario because User3 and User4 have the necessary methods registered for verification codes (OATH token/Authenticator), while only User1 has a mobile phone registered for text verification.
