Hello @HarnoorK !
To handle the MFA behavior navigate to: Multi-factor Authentication > Properties and disable the relevant options.

Please consider marking my answer as helpful and accepting it as the solution if it assisted you in any way.

Hi @HarnoorK 

Since we have enforced the MFA on all the instances irrespective of their type (dev/testing/prod/subprod), and we have provided enough flexibility to exempt or exclude the users based on multiple parameters, be it role, group, IP, location etc etc, we suggest to give a second thought before disabling the MFA.

I agree if you are using SSO to login for most of the users in the instance, there are still few users who would be logging in with username, pwd based login and for these users, we highly recommend to enforce the MFA as it would act as the safeguard in case the username and password gets compromised accidently.

Please reconsider this decision to disable the MFA in your instance and let us know if you have any further queries.

I am dropping here the KB Articles which further talk about the MFA Enforcement and further available options to configure the MFA according the the business requirements.
