So, we received information that Salesforce is going to enforce MFA on each SSO login, as mentioned in the following documentation:
https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=005237070&type=1&utm_source=techcomms&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=FY26_Core_4097908
As described in this document, we enabled MFA using the “Require multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all direct UI logins to your Salesforce org” option under Setup → Identity Verification.
We are sending the following AuthnStatement in the SAML response:
<saml:AuthnStatement AuthnInstant="2026-01-29T10:11:46.404Z"
SessionIndex="e19ce28a63754b40a9361c98504d8d1d"
>
<saml:AuthnContext>
<saml:AuthnContextClassRef>urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:ac:classes:MobileTwoFactorContract</saml:AuthnContextClassRef>
</saml:AuthnContext>
</saml:AuthnStatement>
However, Salesforce is still prompting users for MFA after SSO login.
Is there anything else that needs to be configured on the Salesforce side to bypass MFA, considering that MFA is already being verified at our IdP?
Thanks in advance.
If you are using custom SAML SSO, then you can add additinoal attribute "AMR " to your SAML response with suggested value in the document "Changes to Device Activation for Single Sign-On (SSO) Logins" (refer to 1st table , row "SSO Identity Provider (IdP) Secure Authentication")
