PhoneFactor Country List

Question

I'm using the PhoneFactor-InputOrVerify for my custom policy MFA. If a user does not have a phone number registered, it will ask them to enter one. Part of this is a dropdown list of countries that the phone is registered in (so that it can get the country code). I've managed to trim this list down to just a few countries, using the following TechnicalProfile

<TechnicalProfile Id="PhoneFactor-InputOrVerify">
    <DisplayName>PhoneFactor</DisplayName>
    <Protocol Name="Proprietary" Handler="Web.TPEngine.Providers.PhoneFactorProtocolProvider, Web.TPEngine, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />
    <Metadata>
        <Item Key="ContentDefinitionReferenceId">api.phonefactor</Item>
        <Item Key="ManualPhoneNumberEntryAllowed">true</Item>
        <Item Key="setting.authenticationMode">sms</Item>
        <Item Key="setting.autodial">true</Item>     
        <Item Key="language.countryList"><![CDATA[{"IE": "Ireland","IM": "Isle of Man","GB": "United Kingdom","US": "United States","DE": "Germany"}]]></Item>
    </Metadata>
    <CryptographicKeys>
        <Key Id="issuer_secret" StorageReferenceId="B2C_1A_TokenSigningKeyContainer" />
    </CryptographicKeys>
    <InputClaimsTransformations>
        <InputClaimsTransformation ReferenceId="CreateUserIdForMFA" />
    </InputClaimsTransformations>
    <InputClaims>
        <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="userIdForMFA" PartnerClaimType="UserId" />
        <InputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="strongAuthenticationPhoneNumber" />
    </InputClaims>
    <OutputClaims>
        <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="Verified.strongAuthenticationPhoneNumber" PartnerClaimType="Verified.OfficePhone" />
        <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="newPhoneNumberEntered" PartnerClaimType="newPhoneNumberEntered" />
        <OutputClaim ClaimTypeReferenceId="isActiveMFASession" DefaultValue="true"/>
    </OutputClaims>
</TechnicalProfile>

The problem is that it always defaults to the United States, I want to be able to set what country code the dropdown defaults to. Anyone know how I do this?

I've tried adding "DEFAULT": "United Kingdom", to the start of the JSON however, just just adds another selection to the list.

Answer 1

Have you tried moving "GB": "United Kingdom" in front of the list and removing "DEFAULT": "Country/Region" ?

Another possibility is to use Java Script to customize the dropdown but would only recommend that if this behavior is not achievable via policy.

Here is a working example where I have updated the policy to use language customization feature in B2C. Basically moved the GB at the top of Country_List item and remove entry for DEFAULT.
