Resetting Multi-Factor Authentication

Overview

If a user loses access to their authenticator app (e.g. mobile phone is lost) or over-writes the account credentials accidentally (i.e. adds account for sandbox environment), an admin can reset MFA for the end user.


User Requirements 

Only Administrators can enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) on their Org.


Related Information/Setup

Please refer to the Multi-Factor Authentication Setup article for more information on setting up users with MFA.
