# PingOne MFA

These workflows show you how to use platform and MFA APIs to perform common MFA actions. MFA use cases often call the following API resources:

| Platform API                                                 | Description                                                                                                                                                        |

| [PingOne MFA](../mfa/introduction.html)                      | The PingOne MFA services provide capabilities for enabling MFA actions in authentication flows, configuring MFA settings and policies, and specifying MFA devices. |
| [Sign-On Policies](../platform/sign-on-policies.html)        | Sign-on policies determine the account authentication flow users must complete to access applications secured by PingOne services.                                 |
| [Resources](../platform/resources.html)                      | Resources are the protected endpoints that applications request access to using OAuth 2 authorization services.                                                    |
| [Applications](../platform/applications/applications-1.html) | Application resources define the connection between PingOne and the actual application.                                                                            |

|   | The workflows in this section use email for multi-factor authentication. For new environments, the environment's device authentication policy enables email by default (and disables SMS and voice devices). |

|   | These requests require `PING_ONE_MFA` in the Bill of Materials (BOM) for your environment. To check the BOM for the list of PingOne products associated with your environment, refer to [Read One Bill of Materials](../platform/bill-of-materials-bom/read-one-bill-of-materials.html). If `PING_ONE_MFA` is not in the BOM, contact your PingOne administrator to check whether your license supports adding this product to your environment. |
