Description This article discusses the Precautions while enabling two-factor authentication for the admin account.
Scope  
Solution

Enabling two-factor authentication for Local or Administrator accounts will enhance security.

But while enabling two factor for an Administrator account it is recommended to have one more admin account without two factor(Should be a super admin).


Let's say the Main super admin account is locked (somehow the Mobile token-activated phone is lost or the email server is not reachable) it will be difficult to reset the password.

So practically having an alternate admin account without Two factor could be handy.
