The notice specifically describes retirement of management in those policies; it does not say that the authentication methods themselves will be removed on that date.
Administrators should plan to migrate methods managed through the legacy MFA and SSPR policies to the converged Authentication methods policy before the deadline. Microsoft describes that policy as the central management point for passwordless, multifactor authentication, and SSPR scenarios. The supplied notice does not include migration steps or technical prerequisites.
