### Session controls for Combined Registration
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 previously completed MFA as part of a valid session, no additional MFA is 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 is 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).

- Starting August 25, 2025, as announced in MC1135479, users are required to complete multi-factor authentication (MFA) when managing credentials or accessing My Sign Ins if they haven’t done so within the last 10 minutes of their current session.

Enforcing Authentication Strengths to security info registration can conflict with both aforementioned requirements, with end-users potentially experiencing the error message *"Let’s try something else. Another sign-in method is required to access this resource. Close your browser and try again, but choose another way to sign-in"*. Changes can be made at the tenant level, such as enforcing "Sign-in frequency: every time" to the "Register security info" user action or enabling Passkeys for Windows Hello for Business users, or at the user level, such as ensuring they authenticate with a session at most 10 minutes old or ensuring they authenticate with a combination of methods included in the enforced Authentication Strength.

Combined registration sessions are only valid for 15 minutes. If a user's registration or management actions take longer than this time period, the session expires and the user is asked to sign back in to continue.
