Auth0 MFA Guide

Add Multi-Factor Authentication to protect user accounts and require additional verification for sensitive operations.

Overview

What is MFA?

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) requires users to provide two or more verification factors to access their accounts. Auth0 supports multiple MFA factors and enables step-up authentication for sensitive operations.

When to Use This Skill

• Adding MFA to protect user accounts
• Requiring additional verification for sensitive actions (payments, settings changes)
• Implementing adaptive/risk-based authentication
• Meeting compliance requirements (PCI-DSS, SOC2, HIPAA)

MFA Factors Supported

Key Concepts

Step 1: Enable MFA in Tenant

Via Auth0 Dashboard

1. Go to Security → Multi-factor Auth
2. Enable desired factors (TOTP, SMS, etc.)
3. Configure Policies:

- Always - Require MFA for all logins - Adaptive - Risk-based MFA - Never - Disable MFA (use step-up instead)

Via Auth0 CLI

# View current MFA configuration
auth0 api get "guardian/factors"

# Enable TOTP (One-time Password)
auth0 api put "guardian/factors/otp" --data '{"enabled": true}'

# Enable SMS
auth0 api put "guardian/factors/sms" --data '{"enabled": true}'

# Enable Push notifications
auth0 api put "guardian/factors/push-notification" --data '{"enabled": true}'

# Enable WebAuthn (Roaming - Security Keys)
auth0 api put "guardian/factors/webauthn-roaming" --data '{"enabled": true}'

# Enable WebAuthn (Platform - Biometrics)
auth0 api put "guardian/factors/webauthn-platform" --data '{"enabled": true}'

# Enable Email
auth0 api put "guardian/factors/email" --data '{"enabled": true}'

Configure MFA Policy

# Set MFA policy: "all-applications" or "confidence-score"
auth0 api patch "guardian/policies" --data '["all-applications"]'

Step 2: Implement Step-Up Authentication

Step-up auth requires MFA for sensitive operations without requiring it for every login.

The acr_values Parameter

Request MFA by including acr_values in your authorization request:

acr_values=http://schemas.openid.net/pape/policies/2007/06/multi-factor

Implementation Pattern

The general pattern for all frameworks:

1. Check if user has already completed MFA (inspect amr claim)
2. If not, request MFA via acr_values parameter
3. Proceed with sensitive action once MFA is verified

• React (basic and custom hook)
• Next.js (App Router)
• Vue.js
