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.
