Multi-factor authentication (MFA) that adapts, so there’s minimal friction unless it’s really needed.
Adaptive MFA minimizes friction by only requiring additional authentication when necessary. The system evaluates each login attempt in real time, checking for potential risks like new devices, suspicious locations, or other unusual behavior. If everything looks safe, the user proceeds without extra steps. Something seems off? MFA is triggered to protect the account from potential threats.
Set your MFA policies based on your security needs. You can choose between:
You have full control over how and when MFA is enforced, ensuring consistency and security across your app.
Give users the power to manage their own MFA settings through the self-service Admin Portal. This flexibility allows users to customize their security preferences, with admins setting the policies that best fit the organization’s needs.
Customize your app’s response to threats with Frontegg security rules. You can fine-tune how MFA behaves based on different risk factors, such as allowing logins from new devices or blocking suspected bot activity, to meet your exact security requirements.
“Frontegg allows me to flexibly control any component, turn things off and on, and get granular without needing to build features myself.”

Frontegg’s Adaptive MFA capabilities analyze context in real time to decide when extra verification is needed. That includes signals like device type, location, IP address, and login behavior. If something feels off, Frontegg can step in and require MFA before granting access.
This keeps the experience smooth for trusted users and tighter for anyone who triggers risk signals. You get a security layer that adjusts to the moment, instead of locking every user into the same rigid flow. More on how it works is available in our MFA guide.
Yes. Frontegg gives you full control over MFA policies through a visual interface in the Admin Portal. You can enable, adjust, or enforce MFA based on user roles, tenant settings, or app requirements without needing to involve engineering.
This means your product or security teams can stay agile. If you need to roll out MFA for just one customer, or change when it’s required, you can do that instantly without deployment. It’s flexibility that supports distributed ownership and fast-moving teams.
When a user successfully completes MFA, Frontegg can remember their device and skip additional prompts the next time they log in from that same browser. This reduces friction while still keeping security tight for unfamiliar or risky contexts.
You decide how long a device should be remembered and under what conditions. If something changes, such as location or IP, Frontegg can automatically challenge the user again. It’s a smarter way to protect access without making trusted users jump through hoops every time. Learn more in our Adaptive MFA documentation.
