MFA Override by Dex Admins: User Needs to Update Their Phone Number in Dex

Purpose: The purpose of this solution is to provide Dex Admins with the proper steps to take when a user needs to change their phone number for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). This may occur if the user no longer has access to the phone number listed in their Dex profile. Additionally, if a Dex Admin's phone number is not automatically validated during Opt-in, then they shall be asked to enter a different phone number or reach out to Forte.
