I'd omit it entirely.  Entra ID can only do exact comparisons, so you'd 
just see different breakage.  At best, you could force it to require the 
REFEDS MFA authnContextClassRef and map that to 
http://schemas.microsoft.com/claims/multipleauthn on the Entra ID side. 
If you do that though, non-MFA-capable users will fail to log in :(

It's good to know that Onelogin SPs have this sort of broken default, 
anyway.
