Hello,

I am trying to enable MFA through an action during the authentication pipeline.  
By reading this article, it seems possible to do so:

> **[Login Flow](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/actions/flows-and-triggers/login-flow)**
>
> Learn about the Actions Login Flow and the post-login Action trigger, which is executed after a user logs in and when a Refresh Token is requested.

Here is the content of my action (at the end, I would like to add some business logic to enable or not the MFA depending of some conditions like the requested scope for instance)

```auto
exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event, api) => {
    api.multifactor.enable("any");
};

```

I tried like this but no MFA have been requested.  
I enabled those MFA from the dashboard:

- WebAuthn with FIDO Device Biometrics
- One-time Password

And I set to `never` the `Require Multi-factor Auth` policy (because I want to ask for MFA only on specific conditions)

Thanks in advance for you help !

Oups, I think I did something wrong (like forget to publish my new pipeline flow using that actions) yesterday…

I tried it again this morning and it works like a charm.

Sorry for this false positive.
