Use the Cloud Administration Emergency Tokencode API to disable the Emergency Tokencode authentication method for a user. An administrator can disable a user's emergency tokencode before it expires. After disabling the tokencode:
-
The user cannot select Emergency Tokencode during authentication because it is not presented as an option.
-
The administrator cannot view or re-enable the tokencode. If the user needs emergency access, the administrator must generate a new tokencode.
For more information about Emergency Tokencode, see Supported Authentication Methods - Emergency Tokencode.
