admin_set_user_mfa_preference#

CognitoIdentityProvider.Client.admin_set_user_mfa_preference(**kwargs)#

Sets the user’s multi-factor authentication (MFA) preference, including which MFA options are activated, and if any are preferred. Only one factor can be set as preferred. The preferred MFA factor will be used to authenticate a user if multiple factors are activated. If multiple options are activated and no preference is set, a challenge to choose an MFA option will be returned during sign-in.

This operation doesn’t reset an existing TOTP MFA for a user. To register a new TOTP factor for a user, make an AssociateSoftwareToken request. For more information, see TOTP software token MFA.

Note

Amazon Cognito evaluates Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies in requests for this API operation. For this operation, you must use IAM credentials to authorize requests, and you must grant yourself the corresponding IAM permission in a policy.

    },
    SoftwareTokenMfaSettings={
        'Enabled': True|False,

Parameters:

  • SMSMfaSettings (dict) –

    User preferences for SMS message MFA. Activates or deactivates SMS MFA and sets it as the preferred MFA method when multiple methods are available.

    • Enabled (boolean) –

      Specifies whether SMS message MFA is activated. If an MFA type is activated for a user, the user will be prompted for MFA during all sign-in attempts, unless device tracking is turned on and the device has been trusted.

    • PreferredMfa (boolean) –

      Specifies whether SMS is the preferred MFA method. If true, your user pool prompts the specified user for a code delivered by SMS message after username-password sign-in succeeds.

  • SoftwareTokenMfaSettings (dict) –

    User preferences for time-based one-time password (TOTP) MFA. Activates or deactivates TOTP MFA and sets it as the preferred MFA method when multiple methods are available.

    • Enabled (boolean) –

      Specifies whether software token MFA is activated. If an MFA type is activated for a user, the user will be prompted for MFA during all sign-in attempts, unless device tracking is turned on and the device has been trusted.

    • PreferredMfa (boolean) –

      Specifies whether software token MFA is the preferred MFA method.

  • EmailMfaSettings (dict) –

    User preferences for email message MFA. Activates or deactivates email MFA and sets it as the preferred MFA method when multiple methods are available. To activate this setting, advanced security features must be active in your user pool.

    • Enabled (boolean) –

      Specifies whether email message MFA is active for a user. When the value of this parameter is Enabled, the user will be prompted for MFA during all sign-in attempts, unless device tracking is turned on and the device has been trusted.

    • PreferredMfa (boolean) –

      Specifies whether email message MFA is the user’s preferred method.

  • Username (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The username of the user that you want to query or modify. The value of this parameter is typically your user’s username, but it can be any of their alias attributes. If username isn’t an alias attribute in your user pool, this value must be the sub of a local user or the username of a user from a third-party IdP.

  • UserPoolId (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The ID of the user pool where you want to set a user’s MFA preferences.
