Hi Community,

 

What are some of the options to verify user's identity when they contact helpdesk to reset their MFA?

Usually these types of processes will be controlled by your Security Team in collaboration with the helpdesk. I would say there are many different options Tanushuree outlined a few.  You could also provide the ServiceDesk with a UI button/action that will let a flow send a text to their number with a random sequence that the caller can then verify.  Ultimately though, its a layered approach it should always involve multiple steps.

Hi @akshayashetty 

 

It could be 

  • Send a push notification to the user’s mobile app  ( like okta push notification)
  • Issue an OTP via SMS to the verified mobile number .
  • Verify user data in User database (sys_user)
