Note For most tenants, Salesforce has integrated MFA into the login experience and it can’t be disabled. If MFA hasn’t been enforced for your tenant yet, Salesforce strongly recommends that you enable it on your own as soon as possible. See [Enable and Require MFA for Marketing Cloud Engagement](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mc_overview_mfa_transition.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "For most tenants, multi-factor authentication (MFA) is integrated with the Marketing Cloud Engagement login experience and can’t be disabled. If Salesforce hasn’t made MFA mandatory for your tenant yet, you should do so yourself as soon as possible. Follow these steps to transition from Identity Verification (IDV) to multi-factor authentication (MFA).") for more information.
