Pipeline: 2.5 Ensure That 'Number of methods required to reset' is set to '2'

Description

Ensures that two alternate forms of identification are provided before allowing a password reset.

A Self-service Password Reset (SSPR) through Azure Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) ensures the user's identity is confirmed using two separate methods of identification. With multiple methods set, an attacker would have to compromise both methods before they could maliciously reset a user's password.
