Microsoft Authenticator for Passwordless offline notifications

I'm looking at rolling out passwordless to my organisations, using MS Authenticator as we already use it for other things. Trouble is, some of our employees travel a lot, and might not alway be in signal range to be online. My question is this: can passwordless via the notification method work if someone were offline? Should the primary method (notification) not be available, if a secondary were set, could this be used to login?
