Hi @ysharat,

There isn’t a `api.multifactor.disable()` method.

Instead, you must use the `api.multifactor.enable()` method.

For example:

```auto
exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event, api) => {
  const city = event.request.geoip.cityName;
  if (city !== ‘California’) {
    api.multifactor.enable('any', { allowRememberBrowser: false });
  }
}

```

Please keep me posted on how this goes for you.

Thanks,  
Rueben

Hi @ysharat,

Thanks for the reply.

Could you share with me what you experienced when it did not work? Does MFA stay enabled for the user?

If so, you might need to turn MFA off and use the Action script to enable MFA. This tends to provide more control over the MFA experience for your users.

And sure, I can wait for your update on the detailed requirements.

Thanks,  
Rueben
