# How to manage a multi-factor authentication (MFA) provider

On **Segura™ Platform**, you can manage your MFA providers. For each provider, you'll have a different registration process, but to manage them, they will follow the same features.

## Edit an MFA provider

To change a previously registered provider, follow these steps:

1. On **Segura™ Platform**, in the navigation bar, hover over the **Products menu** and select **Settings**.
2. In the side menu, select **MFA > Providers**.
3. In the desired provider, click the **Actions** button and select **Edit**.
4. The **Provider registration** window will open in edit mode.
5. Change what you need to and click **Save**.

## Activate or deactivate an MFA provider

Attention

At least one OTP-based MFA provider must remain active in the system. This is a security requirement, since critical features such as proxy access and master password operations rely on OTP authentication to function properly. If you attempt to disable the last active OTP-based provider, the action will be blocked and an error message will be displayed.

To activate, reactivate or deactivate a previously registered provider, follow these steps:

1. On **Segura™ Platform**, in the navigation bar, hover over the **Products menu** and select **Settings**.
2. In the side menu, select **MFA > Providers**.
3. There are two options to activate or deactivate your MFA provider:
  1. Shortcut buttons:
    1. In the desired provider, click the **Activate** or **Deactivate** buttons according to the provider status and click **Yes**.
  2. During the editing:
    1. In the desired provider, click the **Actions** button and select **Edit**.
    2. The **Provider registration** window will open in edit mode.
    3. In the **Active** field, select **No** to deactivate or **Yes** to activate or reactivate the provider.
    4. Click **Save**.
