# Configure MFA

You can configure multi-factor authentication (MFA) in your account. That means you can activate or deactivate it.

### What is MFA

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) requires users to verify their identity using two or more independent factors, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

With IXM Aqua, you can authenticate using an app such as Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator.

> You can’t configure login settings such as MFA if they’re managed by your organization.

1. At the bottom of the sidebar, click on your user name.

To deactivate MFA, perform the following steps:

1. At the bottom of the sidebar, click on your user name.
2. Click **Configure MFA**.
3. Select **Deactivate MFA**.
4. Click **Close** to close the window.
