</Frame>

### **Disabling MFA**

1. In the pop-up, confirm your user's password and click on **Disable Multi-Factor Authentication**

<Frame>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/specterops/TwsBcJyEWw_Zwex2/assets/image-2-7.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=TwsBcJyEWw_Zwex2&q=85&s=e2d042aeb3cd79b09d4626655d4a3207" width="606" height="350" data-path="assets/image-2-7.png" />
</Frame>

2. Multi-factor authentication is now disabled

## Outcome

If enabling MFA, next time you log in, you'll need to use both your password and authentication code.

If you lose your authentication code device, you'll need to contact an Administrator of your BloodHound tenant who can reset your MFA configuration.
