Missing 'Microsoft' before 'Entra ID'. The product name should be 'Microsoft Entra ID' for consistency with other references in the document.

The URL parameter format is incorrect. The original URL used 'whr=' parameter, but this change uses 'domain_hint=' without a '&' separator after the base URL. It should be 'https://aka.ms/mfasetup?whr=' to maintain the same parameter pattern, or if domain_hint is the correct parameter for the new URL, there should be documentation confirming this change in behavior.
