Whilst testing QR code authentication recently, I ran into an issue where none of my test users could use QR code authentication. After some time, I found one could - seemingly randomly. After working with Microsoft on this issue via email, it was highlighted that the authentication methods for a user are cached and only refreshed after successful authentication using an existing method. As I had scoped QR code auth to these test users and then immediately tried to use it, authentication failed. Once I logged in using a different method first e.g. password, QR code auth then worked for subsequent authentications.

This PR adds a small note to the QR code auth documentation highlighting this subtle and crucial requirement.

@stuart938503: Does this issue occur when QR code policy is enabled, disabled, and then enabled again?
