Note: If 2FA is optional for a user, and they need to change or remove their existing 2FA setup, they can disable their 2FA. See Disable or reset two-factor authentication and Disable or reset two-factor authentication in the Kiosk on a smartphone. |
Disabling 2FA essentially means removing the 2FA from the CloudPayroll account. A user can then choose to set it up again.
A user cannot disable their own 2FA if they are unable to log into CloudPayroll.
In this instance, you will need to remove 2FA from their account on their behalf. The user can then set up 2FA again, if required.
Note: If 2FA is compulsory for a user, you will reset two-factor authentication for a user. |
