For my initial basic testing, that was the entire rule :).

Hmm, but if I override the requested AuthenticationContext for that specific relying party in the config, that is the same as if it had actually asked for it, so an existing password only session would be insufficient and the user would get rerouted through the MFA logic?

Tentatively I think the list of services that just don't want to do MFA at all will be much shorter than the ones that will optionally do MFA.

Thanks much for the help, sorry if I'm not picking things up as quick as I should be.
