Hi Team,
I am not able to login my PDI due to MFA.
I have configured MFA in my old mobile which I lost hence not able to give MFA code while login to PDI. I need your help to setup MFA on my new mobile or please let me know how to disable MFA for my PDI.

Hi @Ram70,
have you tried the steps above? Were you able to log in your PDI?
EDIT: there's a new page layout, do it like this:

Please try this:
You can use postman to send api to update the user's MFA field.
Method: PATCH
URL: https://<yourinstance>.service-now.com/api/now/table/sys_user/6816f79cc0a8016401c5a33be04be441
Authorization: Basic Auth
Username/Password: Your admin account
Body:
{"enable_multifactor_authn":"false"}
After you updated the field to false, you can login without MFA code.

Hi Chavan,
Thanks for the solution I tried your approach. By that I have updated admin user record but still MFA page is coming to login into PDI.
