# Reset User's MFA Device
Customers who opt to have Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) setup in their Limio environment will have users who need to change their MFA device on occasion.
There are 3 key steps that are needed to do this:
* **Copy the target user's details**
* **Remove the target user**
* **Re-create the target user**
*Note: These steps will need to be carried out by a user who isn't getting their MFA device reset.*
## **Deleting the target User**
**Follow these steps to delete the user in the system:**
1. Click on your avatar in the top-right corner of the screen
2. From the drop-down navigation menu, select Users
3. Find the target user in the users list
4. Click "Edit" to view the user's details and note them down
5. Go back to the users list and click the "Delete" button next to the target user

## **Re-Create the User**
The MFA QR code is only available on the first login attempt, so re-creating the user here will allow them to setup a new device with their previous email and username. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click on your avatar in the top-right corner of the screen
2. From the drop-down navigation menu, select Users
3. From the left-hand navigation menu, click Create User
4. Fill in all required fields with the target user's information that was collected before deletion
5. A temporary password will be sent to the target user's registered email address
6. On the target user's first login, a QR code will appear for the user to register their MFA device
*Important Note: Ensure the user checks their spam or junk folder if they do not see the temporary password email in their inbox*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.limio.com/support/user-permissions-and-administration/how-to-enable-multi-factor-authentication-at-limio-mfa-or-2fa/how-to-reset-a-limio-users-mfa-device.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
