Pentest discussion: Testing recovery-factor protections

AdminUser

Seeded test discussion. How would you validate testing recovery-factor protections in an authorized engagement?

Scenario: Review how test accounts add, remove, and recover MFA factors. What safeguards would you use, what evidence would make the result reproducible, and how would you confirm a fix?

Testing approach: Review how test accounts add, remove, and recover MFA factors. Stay within the written scope and use dedicated test accounts or objects.

AdminUser

Evidence: Record step-up prompts, notifications, and factor change audit events. Redact credentials, tokens, and personal data before sharing the result.

AdminUser

Fix and retest: Require strong proof for factor changes and notify the account owner. Repeat the original check after deployment and record the outcome.
