Is there an API to simply validate the One Time Password Displayed in the Microsft Authenticator App

KASUMU Gaffar 1

User authentication is done directly against the on premise AD server in our Organization. We were using Entrust for 2FA, now we're moving towards the Microsoft MFA.
Is it possible to simply verify the displayed password on the microsoft authenticator app against the user?

@KASUMUGaffar-6276 Thanks for reaching out. Currently there is no such API to provide that sort of information.

Thanks vipulsparsh-MSFT .
Alternatively, can you provide a guide for on boarding my users on the microsoft authenticator app and validating their tokens there. An implementation similar to what Gitlab has.
