Two-Factor Authentication Deactivation Issue

Understand why 'Deactivated' appears when enabling 2FA for an agent in Zendesk.

Why do I see 'Deactivated' when enabling Two-Factor Authentication for my agent?

Seeing 'Deactivated' when enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) could indicate a configuration issue.

This message might appear if there are restrictions or settings that prevent 2FA from being activated for a specific agent. It's important to check the agent's account status and any related security settings. If the issue persists, consulting Zendesk support can provide further insights and solutions.
