How to Turn Off MFA in Salesforce

Use this interactive demo to learn how to turn off mandatory MFA for direct logins in your Salesforce org.

Quick summary

This tutorial shows how to disable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all direct UI logins in a Salesforce org using the Identity Verification settings in Setup. Admins can follow these four steps to remove the mandatory MFA requirement without leaving the Salesforce Lightning interface.


Steps

  1. Click the Gear icon in the top-right corner of Salesforce and select Setup from the dropdown menu.
  2. In the left pane, use Quick Find to search for "Identity Verification" and open the matching result.
  3. Disable the setting labeled "Require Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all direct UI logins to your Salesforce org."
  4. Click Save to apply and confirm your changes.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to disable MFA in Salesforce gives administrators the flexibility to manage login security policies based on their organization's specific compliance and access requirements. While MFA strengthens account protection, there are legitimate scenarios — such as internal tool integrations or legacy system compatibility — where turning off mandatory MFA for direct UI logins is necessary. This step-by-step guide to the Salesforce Identity Verification settings helps admins make the change quickly and correctly, reducing downtime and avoiding accidental lockouts. Understanding this process is essential for any Salesforce admin responsible for org-wide authentication configuration.
