@chilly-king-10285 how do I create a flow to enable or disable multi-factor authentication for individual users? I want to give users the control on whether they enable or disable MFA on their account.

To enable or disable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for individual users in Ory Identities (Kratos), you can use the settings flow. This allows users to control whether they enable or disable MFA on their account. Here's how you can implement this: 1. First, ensure that you have enabled the MFA methods you want to offer, such as TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) or WebAuthn. You can do this in the Ory Console or via the CLI as described in the [TOTP documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/mfa/totp#enabling-totp-authentication). 2. Once MFA is enabled for your project, each user can enable or disable MFA for their own account through the settings flow. In the Ory Account Experience, users can access this in the "Account Settings" page. 3. To create a custom UI for this flow, you'll need to implement the settings flow in your application. Here's a general outline of the process: a. Initiate a settings flow by calling the appropriate API endpoint. b. Render the settings UI based on the flow response, which will include options for enabling/disabling MFA methods. c. When the user chooses to enable or disable MFA, submit the form to complete the action. 4. If you're using a custom UI, you'll need to handle the flow for enabling/disabling MFA. The exact implementation will depend on your UI framework, but you'll generally need to: - Initiate a settings flow - Present the MFA options to the user - Handle the user's choice to enable or disable MFA - Submit the form to complete the action 5. Be aware that when MFA is enabled for a user, they will be required to use it based on your project's configuration. You can adjust this behavior as described in the [Step-up authentication documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/mfa/step-up-authentication). Remember that the specific implementation details will depend on your chosen UI framework and how you've integrated Ory Identities into your application. You may want to refer to the [Ory Kratos Node.js UI Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/guides/deploy-kratos-example#next-steps) for an example of how to implement these flows. For more detailed information on implementing MFA in your application, you can refer to the [MFA overview documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/guides/deploy-kratos-example#next-steps).

@chilly-king-10285 how can I update a settings flow after user's priviliged session has ended?

Sorry @fierce-pharmacist-13812, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support folks and they will try to fix me up! 🧑‍💻 Perhaps try again in 5mins?
