Azure Multi-Factor Token Request

Description

Azure MFA tokens are a physical device that generates a code for users so that they may get through multi-factor authentication while enrolled in Azure MFA. This device is meant for users who do not have a phone or smart device that they can use for authentication. Exceptions may be made depending on the requesting user's case.
