Disconnect a User’s TOTP Authenticator App
Besides Salesforce Authenticator, one other mobile authenticator app that generates
verification codes (time-based one-time passwords) can be connected to a user’s
account at a time. If your user loses access to the app by replacing or losing the mobile
device, disconnect the app from your user’s account. The next time your user logs in with
multi-factor authentication (MFA), if no other identity verification method is connected,
Salesforce prompts the user to register a new method.
