Can someone help how to reset my MFA? 

I have a new device and still have access to the old device. I want to reset my box MFA before I lose the old device. Can I do it on my own?

Hi ​@Sara JD

Welcome to Box Community and we are glad to assist! 

 

Since you can still access your old device, you can remove your current Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) configuration.

To remove a multi-factor authentication method from your individual account:

  1. Click on your account icon in the top-right corner of the page, and select Account Settings.
  2. Under the Account tab, scroll to the Authentication section.
  3. Click Remove next to the authentication method you want to remove, and then click Remove in the confirmation dialog box.

 

Once you’re ready for your new MFA configuration, please go on and enable your Multi-Factor Authentication

 

Hope it helps! Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Hi Support Team - 

 

Hope all is well. A colleague is reporting an inability to access the Box site because of the multi-factor authentication being connected to their old phone. Can you please assist with regaining access? 

Please let me know if I should redirect this to a different team. 

Thank you.
