Overview

For security reasons, there is no way to re-display your original QR code or text secret. In order to switch your TOTP to a new device or app, you must disable your current TOTP and then re-enable it to obtain a new text secret.

Disabling MFA

  1. Log into the Dispel Dashboard using your old MFA device.

  2. Navigate to Account Settings by clicking on your initials in the top left of the Dashboard.

  3. Scroll down to the Multi-factor authentication section at the bottom of the page. Select Disable beside MFA device. If your organization enforces MFA, you will be prompted to set up MFA.

    1. If your MFA is currently set up with a device, this section will be labeled with the green ENABLED pill.

    2. If your MFA is successfully disabled, you will see a gray DISABLED pill within this section.

  4. Set up your MFA with your new device. Follow this guide to successfully configure your TOTP MFA!
