Guidance for the error message: You've hit our limit on verification methods.  

1. Close your browser and then reopen it when you log in with MFA.
2. Only when use of an MFA box one should click on the link for other verification.
3. Be alert on that sometimes one can accidentally double-click or press the return key, which can trigger a call and where the next natural click then causes MFA to lock, instead of continuing with the login.
4. If you see an error message: "You've hit our limit on verification methods" Wait at least three minutes before another try. Do not refresh the page during this time as this will reset the wait time.
5. Enable notifications from the Microsoft authenticator app on your phone.
