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.
