Shaik MahammadA.86260 (Trellix) asked a question.
MFA Enforcement will make service accounts to lose access to okta admin console how to overcome this situation
Hi @Shaik MahammadA.86260 (Trellix) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
I'm not sure I understand the use case where changes will affect the service accounts.
As I understand it, the MFA enforcement will not apply to general authentication of users that have Admin privileges, but to the explicit login into the Okta Admin Console via the UI. You can check our FAQ page on the subject and also see my signature below for the link to the upcoming AMA event with our Product Experts where you can discuss with them the possible issues you might encounter.
Regards.

Hi @Mihai Negoita - Okta (Okta, Inc.)
In our use case we are allowing the service accounts to log into okta admin console through policies of MFA exception if it makes as mandatory then these Service accounts(uses by many users of team) have to go through with MFA right?
Hi @Shaik MahammadA.86260 (Trellix) , that's fair. I though you meant service account used for automations and integrations, not shared admin accounts. Please check our FAQ article on the topic.
