MFA Policy Template

Copy or download a practical MFA policy template covering required methods, recovery, exceptions, and reviews.

Policy needs to say what is required, who is exempt, how recovery works, and how often the policy is reviewed.
Teams should define allowed methods instead of simply saying 'MFA required.'
A policy template is most useful when it includes operational language for support, escalation, and audit logging.

Required methods

State whether the team requires passkeys, security keys, authenticator apps, or a combination. If SMS remains allowed, say exactly where and for how long.

Recovery and exceptions

Specify how a user proves identity, who can approve a reset, what evidence is required, and when a temporary exception can be granted.

Review cadence

Policies should be revisited on a schedule. Review which methods are in use, whether the chosen methods still match the company's risk profile, and whether any emergency exceptions need closure.

Implementation checklist

  • Use the template as a starting point and adapt it to your own control model.
  • Publish the same policy in a format employees can actually read.
  • Add an owner, an effective date, and a review date to the final policy.

Policy cautions

  • A policy without a recovery path is only half a policy.
  • Do not copy a template without checking whether it fits your platform mix.
