MFA Trusted Machines Report

    Users can opt to trust their machines for MFA (i.e., save their MFA verification on their machines) for a specified number of days. The MFA Trusted Machines report displays details of active user-machine MFA trusts, including the username, the machine name or IP address, the time the trust was initiated, and the trust validity period.

    This report also allows admins to search for specific user-machine login agent MFA trusts and remove them. Using this report, administrators get visibility and control over browser-based MFA trusts, enabling proper security oversight while maintaining user convenience for frequently accessed systems.

    How it works

    This report queries the ADSelfService Plus database to retrieve all active machine trust relationships where users have chosen to remember their MFA verification on specific endpoints. ADSelfService Plus tracks trust relationships across different operating system login agents (Windows, macOS, Linux) and displays them in this report.

    Limitation: This report displays information on only machine-based trusts and not browser-based trusts. To view that information, use the MFA Trusted Browsers Report.

    Prerequisite: You must have administrator or technician-level access to the ADSelfService Plus portal to generate and view reports.

    Automating the MFA Trusted Machines Report

    • The Schedule Reports option can be used to schedule the generation of reports at specified intervals, and automatically email them to administrators or specific email addresses. Learn to schedule reports here.

    Exporting the MFA Trusted Machines Report

    • The Export As option at the right corner of the page helps export the report in CSV, PDF, XLS, XLSX, HTML and CSVDE formats.

    Tips

    • The More option at the right corner of the page lists the Printable View, Send Mail, and Export Settings options.
      • The Printable View option can be used to preview and print the report.

      • Additionally, you can configure custom Export Settings, such as a personalized title for the report and a header logo that you may wish to display on each page.
    • Enforce trust policies for high-risk machines: Use the MFA Trusted for filter to review trusts specifically for sensitive machines with critical data. Consider revoking machine-based trusts for machines that require authentication on every access, regardless of user convenience preferences.
