Hi Martin, we updated the feature matrix here: https://fusionauth.io/pricing?step=plan&hosting=self-hosting to make it clear that application specific MFA configuration is an enterprise only feature.

Cheers!

@mgetka Did you get this sorted out?

Nothing comes to mind, other than maybe cookies aren't being saved off during the bouncing of the redirects. The cookies are documented here: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/reference/cookies

You can't do this with the hosted login pages, but there is an issue to allow/disallow MFA on an application by application basis: https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-issues/issues/763

Currently, you can't bypass MFA, but you can do an end run around by using the Login API.

You can start multi factor with a code you provide: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/two-factor/#start-multi-factor

Then complete the login process with that known code: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/login/#complete-multi-factor-authentication .

Yes. While we recommend the Authorization Code grant is almost all situations, there are times when you need the password grant, and FusionAuth's MFA works with it just fine.

When you begin the password grant, if the user has MFA set up, you won't receive the JWT on successful authentication. Instead you'll receive JSON like this:

{"error":"two_factor_required","error_description":"The user has enabled two factor authentication.","two_factor_id":"gDNV2_fFtl7vhMV5_5bFJUL3ZyZ5Ine69n0xWDXKEGw"}

You'll then need to use the provided two_factor_id to complete the MFA as documented here: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/login/#complete-multi-factor-authentication

That might look something like this:

curl https://local.fusionauth.io/api/two-factor/login -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"twoFactorId": "gDNV2_fFtl7vhMV5_5bFJUL3ZyZ5Ine69n0xWDXKEGw", "code": "487156"}'

At that time you'll get a JWT and normal successful login response.

There is no out of the box solution for this. See https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-issues/issues/763 for the tracking issue.

However you can still do this with the API.

If you are consuming a JWT, you can see if a user has enabled two factor authentication by putting a claim in the JWT using a populate lambda. Look at the user object and if the twoFactor.methods array isn't empty, they have enabled MFA. If you are not using a JWT but instead examining the user object directly, you can look at the same attributes.

In each case, you should set up a page to allow the user to enable MFA and keep directing them there until they have done so. You can either build your own 'MFA enable' page or, if you have a paid edition, use the themeable account self service pages, as documented here: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/account-management/
