Resetting multifactor authentication for an administrative account

If you need to, you can reset an account’s multifactor authentication, if you have the PRIV_MFA_RESET privilege in your role.

When you reset multifactor authentication for an account, when the owner of the account next logs in, they are prompted to follow the onscreen instructions to reset their multifactor authentication.
