Error: Multifactor authentication required

This error suggests the user must authenticate with their MFA to obtain a token. It isn’t possible to get a token silently when it requires user interaction (MFA).

Setting ignoreCache to true means that the SDK must reach out to Auth0 for a new token, and can’t used a token that already exists in the cache.

Here’s a thread on how you can handle this situation:

Failed Silent Auth. Multifactor authentication required error

Experiencing the same issue with an angular app. Implementing the rule that is referenced above and in a few places throughout the boards did not resolve the issue for me either.
