How to reset MFA for another user

Users with User management access can help reset multi-factor authentication (MFA) for other users who cannot access their accounts. This allows you to handle MFA reset issues for colleagues at your property if they lose access to their MFA device, without needing to contact us.

Why you may need to reset MFA for another user

Users with User management permission can reset MFA for another user when they:

  • Have lost their phone or device

  • Have deleted their authenticator app

  • Have restored their phone to factory settings

  • Are replacing their device

  • Cannot access their current MFA method for any reason

Note: User Management actions, including MFA resets, must be performed from a trusted device on a desktop or mobile web browser. The User Management page is not available in the Little Hotelier mobile app.

How to reset MFA for another user

To reset another user's multi-factor authentication (MFA), you need User management permissions and you must be on a trusted device.

  1. Log into your Little Hotelier account (from a trusted device on a desktop or mobile web browser)

  2. Click on your property name > select User management

  3. Once on the Manage users page, find the user that needs an MFA reset

  4. Click the three dots (ellipsis) button next to their name

  5. Select Edit this user

  6. Under Security settings next to Multi-factor authentication, click on the three dots (ellipsis) button

  7. Select "Reset MFA

  8. Click Confirm to reset the user’s MFA

  9. The user will then be prompted to set up a new MFA method the next time they log in or attempt an action that requires it

Note: If you are not on a trusted device, when you click "Reset MFA”, you will be prompted to set up a trusted device first before you can confirm the reset. To add a trusted device, you need to verify with your MFA or passkey when prompted.

If no one at your property has User Management access, or if those users are unavailable, contact our support team for assistance.
