<p>Amazon Cognito now provides a new admin API operation to reset a user's time-based one-time Password (TOTP) multi-factor authentication (MFA) configuration. When users lose access to their TOTP device, administrators can remove the device association, allowing the user to enroll a new device on their next sign-in.</p>
<p>This removes the need to recreate accounts to recover locked-out users if they lose access to their TOTP device. Customers can maintain MFA enforcement while providing a recovery path.</p>
<p>This new capability is available in all <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/">AWS Regions</a> where Amazon Cognito is available. To get started, access the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito-user-identity-pools/latest/APIReference/API_AdminDeleteSoftwareToken.html">AdminDeleteSoftwareToken</a> API using the AWS CLI, SDKs, or APIs. See the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/user-pool-settings-mfa-totp.html#user-pool-settings-mfa-totp-remove">developer guide</a> for instructions.</p>
