  • Hello João,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Sophos Community. 

    As of September 2021, all Sophos Central administrators will need Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to sign in. Administrators will not have the option to turn off MFA going forward.

    I recommend using an authenticator app to set up MFA, so that you don’t need to wait for a text message or e-mail to come in to log in successfully. The authenticator app will always have a code ready for you to enter. 

    This change was made due to the significant security risk without MFA. If an attacker were to compromise your e-mails, they could potentially turn off all protections from Sophos Central leaving your environment wide open.
