Good monring,

I set up an authenticator app through settings, profile, mfa. However, when I logout and log back into the workspace, I am still only getting the email verification to get in. Is there a way I can turn off email verification or have it default to mfa authenticator app I set up? 

Thank you,

Andrea

Hi, @andreapeterson 

Do you have Account Admin privileges?
If you do, you can enforce MFA from the account console, just as shown in the attached image.

If you’re using the Databricks Free Edition rather than a paid account, you can’t enforce MFA. This is a limitation of the Free Edition.

Hm I do, but if authentication is one time passcode, and you enforce mfa, you still have to do both the email code THEN the mfa, this is a lot for users. is there no way to turn off the email one time passcode in exchange for mfa of choice?
