If a user or admin's Multifactor Authentication/Two-Factor authentication device is no longer available to confirm login, an admin on the account can reset MFA for them.

Prerequisites

  • The person performing the reset must be an admin for the organization.

  • The admin completing the reset must have Enable 2-factor Authentication checked in their user account.

  • The user or admin in need of reset must have Enable 2-factor Authentication checked in their user settings.

In the situation where an admin no longer has access to the device configured for MFA and needs a new device registered, and no other admin account exists for the organization, please contact support@consensus.com.

Resetting MFA

  1. Navigate to Settings > Users or Network Users.

  2. Search for the account requiring the reset.

  3. Select the drop-down arrow on the same row as the user account information.

  4. Select Reset MFA in the drop-down menu.

  5. Select Confirm to trigger the reset.

  6. If successful, a message will appear in the top right corner indicating the user’s MFA was reset.

  7. The user will now be prompted to re-authenticate.

  8. Once the user takes the appropriate actions to authenticate, the reset is complete.
