When MFA is set to required, the user will be prompted to enroll on first login.

Modern login flow changes the login screen so a user only identifies themselves by username. When a username is entered NIM then either presents a password field or redirects them to a SAML IDP. When it is disable and a SAML IDP is configured a button is shown. Please see example of both options below
