Manage two-factor authentication
Users who are unable to sign in to the Admin with two-factor authentication (2FA) can try to sync or troubleshoot the problem. You can also reset the authenticators associated with the account. When reset, the user must sign in again and reconfigure the required authenticators.
If you have trouble signing in with 2FA, consider the following:
- Some mobile apps include synchronization options. This option reconnects the app and server, and synchronizes the time settings on the device and server.
- Revoking a device or resetting an authenticator can help users connect.
- Clearing web cache and cookies for the Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source installation can also help. Authenticators, like Google, use generated cookies to save access and duration. Clear the cookies for your specific browser and store domain.
- Blocking cookies prevents some authenticators, such as Google Authenticator, from completing the verification process. Add a rule to your browser that allows cookies for your Adobe Commerce installation.
To reset authenticators from the command line and more advanced troubleshooting information, see Two-Factor Authentication in the developer documentation.
To reset authenticators for a user account:
All permissions, or have Custom permissions for your role with System > Permissions > Two Factor Auth and System > Permissions > All Users selected. To learn more, see User Roles.-
On the Admin sidebar, go to System > Permissions > All Users.
