I currently have One-time password and SMS multi-factors enabled for my account. On user creation, the default behavior is to show the QR code for the one-time password with a link for 'I’d rather use SMS. Is it possible to have the default be SMS with an option for I’d rather use an authenticator app? ---

Hey there Alex! Terribly sorry for the delay in response but the influx of incoming questions totally killed our attention! Once more sorry for the delay! You can use that doc to customise rules in order to force particular MFA factor to be used: > **[Enable Multi-Factor Authentication](https://auth0.com/docs/secure/multi-factor-authentication/enable-mfa)** > > Learn how to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) in the Auth0 Dashboard. ---
