Approving a sign-in through push notification is only available for personal Microsoft accounts or work and school Microsoft accounts, not for third-party accounts like Google or Facebook. If you have a work or school Microsoft account, your organization can choose to disable this option.
If you use a Microsoft account for your personal account and want to switch over to push notifications, you need to add your account again. Re-register the device with your account, and set up push notifications.
If you use Microsoft Authenticator for your work or school account, then your organization decides whether to allow one-click notifications.
