# Removing an MFA factor and resetting the verification date

An organization administrator can view the last verification date of [federated](../../../iam/concepts/users/accounts.md#saml-federation) and [local](../../../iam/concepts/users/accounts.md#local) user accounts. In some cases, an administrator may also need to [reset](#reset-verification-date) the verification date of a user account or [remove](#remove-mfa-factor) its [authentication factor](../../concepts/mfa.md#mfa-factors).

{% note info %}

You can look up the date of a user's last verification with the MFA factor on the **Overview** tab of the user information page in the Cloud Center Yandex Identity Hub interface.

{% endnote %}

## Resetting the user account verification date {#reset-verification-date}

To reset a user account verification date, you need the `organization-manager.federations.userAdmin` [role](../../security/index.md) or higher (for federated accounts) or the `organization-manager.userpools.userAdmin` role or higher (for local accounts).

To reset a user's verification date:

{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- Cloud Center UI {#cloud-center}

  1. Log in to [Yandex Identity Hub](https://center.yandex.cloud/organization).
  1. In the left-hand panel, select ![icon-users](../../../_assets/console-icons/person.svg) **Users** and select the federated or local user.
  1. In the top-right corner, click **More** ![chevron-down](../../../_assets/console-icons/chevron-down.svg) and select ![arrow-rotate-left](../../../_assets/console-icons/arrow-rotate-left.svg) **Reset verification date**.
  1. In the window that opens, confirm the operation.

{% endlist %}

The user's verification date will be updated to the current date.

## Removing a user account authentication factor {#remove-mfa-factor}

You can remove an existing [authentication factor](../../concepts/mfa.md#mfa-factors)from a user account if you either have the `organization-manager.federations.userAdmin` [role](../../security/index.md) or higher (for federated accounts) or the `organization-manager.userpools.userAdmin` role or higher (for local accounts).

To remove an existing authentication factor from a user account:

{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- Cloud Center UI {#cloud-center}

  1. Log in to [Yandex Identity Hub](https://center.yandex.cloud/organization).
  1. In the left-hand panel, select ![icon-users](../../../_assets/console-icons/person.svg) **Users** and select the federated or local user.
  1. Navigate to the **MFA** tab.
  1. In the row with the user's authentication factor, click ![ellipsis](../../../_assets/console-icons/ellipsis.svg) and select ![trash-bin](../../../_assets/console-icons/trash-bin.svg) **Delete**.
  1. Confirm the deletion.

{% endlist %}

The user's authentication factor will be deleted, and the user will need to complete the [verification](../../concepts/mfa.md#mfa-factors) again during the next authentication in Yandex Cloud.
