# post\_mfa\_disable

`POST /mfa/disable`

*Disable MFA Method*

Disable a previously enabled multi-factor authentication method for the authenticated user. This action may be restricted if MFA is enforced by the organization.

#### TypeScript Client Library

```typescript
// Note: This endpoint doesn't have a direct client method in the provided TypeScript client
// You would need to use the generic makeRequest method:
// this.makeRequest<any>('mfa/disable', 'POST', { mfaType: 'GOOGLE_AUTH' });
```
