Use Conditional Access Auth Context in your app for step-up authentication – May 2021

This month’s in-depth topic: Using Conditional Access Auth Context in your app for step-up authentication. Use the Microsoft Azure AD Conditional access engine’s new Auth Context feature to trigger a demand for step-up authentication, like MFA, from within your application and services. This capability helps developers build low friction user experiences for some parts of their application, while keeping access to more secure operations and data behind stronger authentication controls. Learn how to enable these scenarios in this session. Microsoft Program Manager presenters – Caleb Baker and Kalyan Krishna. This session was recorded on May 20, 2021. Live and in-chat Q&A throughout call.

does it work with the API management natively, without having to write the code? Can the API manager challenge the token?

Is this actually that secure? Its not clear if it passes some context from the original auth, if not its OTP only and its email OTP then if your email is hacked then your in. Should it not be additive? The claims suggest that with amr {pwd, mfa} but thats not covered in the presentation.
