Monitor multi-factor authentication (MFA) usage patterns and metrics to get a good
understanding of your users’ experiences. There are several tools for monitoring and reporting
on MFA usage patterns in your org. Options include the Lightning Usage App, MFA list views and

Here are some tips for things to watch for.
Check logs and support tickets to track failed login attempts and problems users are having
registering verification methods. Also monitor the volume of requests for temporary
verification codes.
Look for gaps in user training or your onboarding materials that could have resulted in
users misconfiguring or misusing verification methods.
Monitor and analyze MFA usage patterns. For example, is it taking users an unexpectedly
long time to log in or taking multiple tries to log in successfully? If so, can you see
patterns that show some verification methods are working better for users than others?
Lightning Usage App
Use the Login Metrics tab in the Lightning Usage App to monitor logins in your org. You can
track how many users are logging in with your org’s various identity services, including MFA
and single sign-on (SSO). For full details, see Monitor Logins with the Lightning Usage App.
MFA List Views and the Identity Verification Methods Report
You can use custom list views to see who has registered verification methods for MFA. In
addition, the Identity Verification Methods report in Setup monitors and audits your users’
identity verification attempts over the past six months. Use this report to understand how your
users are using MFA.
MFA view: See who has registered MFA verification methods. You can also see who has
generated temporary verification codes, and who has revoked any registered verification
methods.
Dashboards and reports: Audit MFA verification activities in your org, and track method
registration progress.
After installing the package, select the Dashboards tab in Salesforce.
Then open the MFA Dashboard folder and select the MFA Dashboard.
