📋 Changes

This is the first step toward splitting the single, large EXAMPLES.md into per-use-case example files, so that users (and agents) can read only the section they need instead of the whole 240 KB document.

This PR extracts all Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) material into a new dedicated guide, examples/mfa.md, with no change to the content itself.

New file — guides/mfa.md

  • A title, short intro, a generated table of contents, and a back-link to the main EXAMPLES.md.
  • The three MFA blocks moved as is (no rewrites):
    1. Step-up Authentication — handling MfaRequiredError, MFA tenant configuration, MFA error types, mfaContextTtl configuration, session context.
    2. MFA management API — setup & configuration, accessing the mfa API (server/client), getting authenticators, enrollment (OTP/SMS/Email/Push), challenge, verify, and MFA error handling.
    3. Reactive MFA Step-Up (Popup)mfa.challengeWithPopup() usage, configuration options, CSP nonce support, and error handling.

EXAMPLES.md

  • Removed the three MFA content blocks.
  • Left a short pointer stub under the existing ## Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) heading that links to the new file (keeps the heading/anchor intact and gives readers scrolling the doc a signpost).
  • Collapsed the three MFA-related table-of-contents trees into a single entry pointing at examples/mfa.md.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

MFA documentation moved from EXAMPLES.md to guides/mfa.md. The guide updates step-up authentication, MFA Management API, and reactive popup examples. MFA tokens now use cookie-based handoff instead of redirect URLs.

Changes

MFA documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
MFA guide relocation
EXAMPLES.md, guides/mfa.md
Navigation links and the remaining MFA section now point to guides/mfa.md. Duplicate MFA content was removed.
Step-up authentication guidance
guides/mfa.md
Redirect examples POST mfa_token to a storage route before navigation. The Auth0 Action example uses event.user.enrolledFactors, protected grant and audience checks, and updated token TTL settings.
MFA Management API guidance
guides/mfa.md
The error-handling example stores mfa_token in a short-lived httpOnly cookie and reads it on the /mfa page. Token TTL references were updated.
Reactive popup step-up guidance
guides/mfa.md
The popup examples add TypeScript annotations and safe error handling. The options table documents prompt and an omitted scope default.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8a321

The dedicated MFA guide still contains examples that may lose MFA context, fail for some enrolled-factor configurations, throw on optional event data, or leave token binding unclear. Users could copy broken or unsafe flows, so these issues should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merge.

Inline comments:
In `@examples/mfa.md`:
- Around line 1-3: Add a relative back-link to EXAMPLES.md immediately after the
introductory heading or description in the MFA guide, using the established
examples-index link format.
- Around line 12-24: Merge the duplicate “Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)”
sections in the guide into one heading, combining their content without losing
any subsections. Rebuild the table of contents so it contains one MFA entry with
correct anchors, and ensure the reference near “MFA Tenant Configuration”
resolves to the intended merged section.
- Around line 72-80: Update the Full-page redirect example around the mfa_token
handling so the token is not embedded in window.location.href or any query
string. Pass it through a request body or header, or retain it server-side,
while preserving the MFA challenge flow.
- Around line 499-508: Update the client-component example imports to include
mfa alongside getAccessToken from `@auth0/nextjs-auth0/client`, so the existing
mfa.challengeWithPopup call resolves correctly.
- Around line 101-103: Update both onExecutePostLogin snippets in
examples/mfa.md to require the protected audience or scope in addition to
grantType === 'refresh_token' before challenging or enrolling for MFA. Preserve
the existing behavior for matching protected-resource requests while allowing
unrelated refresh-token exchanges to proceed without repeated mfa_required
failures.
- Around line 174-181: Update the MFA setup prerequisites to include enabling
the Auth0 tenant setting “Customize MFA Factors using Actions,” alongside the
existing configuration steps, so usage of challengeWithAny and enrollWithAny is
correctly documented.
- Around line 381-383: In the refresh-token branch, guard
event.user.enrolledFactors before the length check so an undefined value is
treated as an empty array. Update the condition around enrolledFactors to
preserve the existing behavior when factors are present without throwing when
Customize MFA Factors using Actions is disabled.
- Around line 110-115: Update the MFA setup documentation to keep Recovery Codes
consistent with both challengeWithAny arrays: either add enabling Recovery Codes
to the setup prerequisites, or remove the recovery-code entry from both arrays.
Apply the same choice to every affected challengeWithAny example.
- Around line 449-466: Update handleAction so mfa.challengeWithPopup is
initiated from a direct user gesture after MfaRequiredError, such as requiring
the user to click a dedicated step-up button; alternatively open the popup
synchronously before the asynchronous token and API requests, then complete the
MFA flow through that existing window.

- Around line 77-83: Complete the MFA-token handoff in both redirect examples:
in guides/mfa.md lines 77-83, persist or POST data.mfa_token before navigating
to /mfa-challenge; in guides/mfa.md lines 221-226, persist or POST
error.mfa_token before calling redirect("/mfa").
- Around line 411-412: Update the error state declaration using useState so it
is explicitly typed as string or null, allowing setError to receive err.message
while preserving the initial null value.
- Around line 197-198: Update the MFA TTL references in the Step-up
Authentication note in guides/mfa.md to use the SDK-supported names mfaTokenTtl
and AUTH0_MFA_TOKEN_TTL, replacing every occurrence of mfaContextTtl and
AUTH0_MFA_CONTEXT_TTL.
- Around line 118-121: Update the enrolled-factor decision to derive
enrolledFactors from event.user.enrolledFactors using an empty-array fallback,
rather than event.user.multifactor, so email factors are included when selecting
between enrollment and challenge flows.
- Around line 133-138: Remove the email entry from the factor list passed to
api.authentication.enrollWithAny, leaving only the supported otp, phone, and
push-notification types.

124-139: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Build challengeWithAny from the enrolled factors.

When a user has only webauthn-platform or webauthn-roaming enrolled, enrolledFactors.length > 0 reaches api.authentication.challengeWithAny with no matching factor. Auth0 ignores unenrolled factors and the transaction fails. Map event.user.enrolledFactors to { type } and pass the result.

- Around line 233-237: Update the auth0.getAccessToken call in the Server Action
to pass refresh: true, ensuring the token endpoint is invoked and the MFA
Action’s refresh_token branch executes; leave the existing audience and token
destructuring unchanged.
- Around line 258-272: Update MfaPage and the MFA token flow so mfa_token is
server-side bound to the active SDK session before use, rather than trusting the
standalone cookie alone; clear the binding and cookie on logout and after
successful verification, while preserving the existing redirect when no valid
pending challenge exists.
