Cloud Administration Disable Emergency Tokencode API

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. This action removes all Emergency Tokencodes associated with the user from the Cloud Authentication Service. After the tokencode is disabled:

• The user cannot select Emergency Tokencode during online authentication because it is not presented as an option.

• The user can continue to use Emergency Tokencode offline to sign into a computer that is protected by the RSA MFA Agent for Microsoft Windows until the tokencode expires.

• 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.
