Retire a multi-factor authentication (MFA) authenticator in RPA Hub so
that you can turn off the authentication. After you retire an MFA authenticator, it can't be
used again.

## Before you begin

Familiarize yourself with multi-factor authentication (MFA) concepts. For more information, see [Multi-factor authentication](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=mfa-landing&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US).

Familiarize yourself with the TOTP authentication in RPA Hub. For more information, see [TOTP authentication in RPA Hub](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/iZUqiMnKmA6FENEs9mDuIA "You can configure the Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) fields in RPA Hub that enable the unattended robots to seamlessly authenticate against multi-factor authentication (MFA)-enabled applications.").

You must do this task in the classic environment.

Create an MFA authenticator record. For more information, see [Create an MFA authenticator in RPA Hub](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/_y4~RFwFHTKO6QIo0uhqDw "Define the authenticator and token length that acts as an enabler for the Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) authentication in RPA Hub so that the unattended robots can seamlessly authenticate against multi-factor authentication (MFA)-enabled applications.").

Verify that the MFA authenticator record isn't associated to a bot process whose life-cycle stage status is Build, Published, or Retired. If it's not
associated to one of those statuses, dissociate it to retire the MFA authenticator.

Role required: sn_rpa_fdn.rpa_release_manager or sn_rpa_fdn.rpa_admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllRobotic Process AutomationAdministrationAuthenticators.
2. Open the MFA authenticator that you want to retire.
