    To set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), you can follow these general steps:

    1. Download an MFA App: When signing in for the first time, you will be prompted to download an MFA application. You can choose between Auth0 Guardian (available for free) or Google Authenticator.
    2. Scan QR Code: After downloading the app, a QR code will be displayed. Use your MFA app to scan this QR code. If you have trouble scanning, there will be an option to enter a passcode manually.
    3. Save Recovery Code: A recovery code will be displayed. Make sure to note this code and keep it in a safe place, as it will be needed if you need to log in without your device.
    4. Complete Setup: Click the arrow to continue, and you will receive a notification confirming that MFA has been successfully set up.
    5. Log In: When logging into the application, enter your email address and password, then click Next.
    6. Enter MFA Code: If using Google Authenticator, open the app to get the one-time six-digit code and enter it to authenticate. If using Auth0 Guardian, you will receive a push notification to acknowledge instead of entering a code.
    7. Trusted Devices: If you want to avoid entering MFA codes on trusted devices, you can enable the option to remember these devices for a specified number of days (recommended to extend to 90 days for optimal user experience).

    Following these steps will help you successfully set up MFA for your account.
