Apr 30, 2026
Overview
The Auth0 Management API and the Auth0 Dashboard display Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) methods in the order of registration. Auth0 sorts these methods based on the earliest created_at date.
Applies To
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Management API
- Dashboard
Solution
Auth0 sorts Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) methods chronologically by the registration date, starting with the earliest created_at timestamp. This sorting behavior applies to the following areas:
- Auth0 Management API: Executing the Get a list of authentication methods endpoint returns the MFA methods in the order of registration.
- In the Auth0 Dashboard, navigate to User Management > Users, select a specific user, and open the Details tab to display the MFA methods in the same registration order.
