SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It eliminates the risk of unauthorized access and compliance gaps by walking teams through enabling multi-factor authentication, step-up verification, and adaptive policies inside Auth0 tenants.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Factor coverage and policy configuration: Toggle policies for Always, Adaptive, or step-up-only authentication and enable TOTP, SMS, push notifications, WebAuthn, email, and recovery codes via the dashboard or CLI.
  • Step-up enforcement: Request MFA for sensitive operations using acr_values, inspect the amr claim, and handle backend validation so high-risk actions only proceed after additional verification.
  • Compliance-ready controls: Follow documented procedures for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC2 scenarios while referencing code samples that demonstrate React, Next.js, Vue, and Angular integrations.

Quick Start

Use the auth0-mfa skill to enable Adaptive MFA and step-up verification for sensitive transactions in your Auth0 tenant.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure adaptive MFA and step-up verification in Auth0?▼

Auth0 step-up enforcement requests MFA for sensitive operations using acr_values, inspects the amr claim, and handles backend validation so high-risk actions proceed only after additional verification.

What MFA factors can I enable for my Auth0 tenant?▼

You can enable TOTP, SMS, push notifications, WebAuthn, email, and recovery codes for your Auth0 tenant by applying the appropriate MFA policies through the dashboard or CLI.

How does step-up authentication validate sensitive transactions using amr claims?▼

Step-up authentication validates sensitive transactions by requesting MFA using acr_values, inspecting the amr claim, and performing backend validation to ensure high-risk actions only proceed after additional verification.

Does this Auth0 MFA configuration support compliance with HIPAA and PCI-DSS?▼

Auth0 MFA supports compliance with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC2 scenarios by providing documented procedures and code samples for configuring multi-factor authentication policies and step-up verification workflows.

Can I implement Auth0 MFA using React, Next.js, Vue, or Angular integrations?▼

Yes, Auth0 MFA provides code samples demonstrating integrations with React, Next.js, Vue, and Angular for implementing multi-factor authentication and step-up verification workflows.

When should I use adaptive MFA versus always-on authentication policies in Auth0?▼

Use adaptive MFA when step-up verification is needed for sensitive actions, and use Always policies when continuous compliance-driven multi-factor authentication is required for every login attempt.
