You can use MFA with an SSO provider for your ServiceNow instance.

Since many users in your organization are logging in to your corporate network and accessing
your ServiceNow instance, there is a stronger need for a secure
authentication.

MFA with the combination of SSO provides an enhanced security for your instance. This
capability provides flexibility to conditionally enable MFA for users.  
Hinweis:  
* ServiceNow MFA is enforced after the user is redirected after the successful authentication at the Identity Provider.
* MFA was not enforced with SSO prior to the San Diego release.

For example, if you would like to give your external users an extra security protocol, then you
can enforce MFA to only those users. In this way, you can add additional authentication abilities
and control your user access.

For SSO-based login such as SAML, OpenID Connect, and Digest, you can enforce MFA for
authentication.

MFA with SSO can be configured on-demand based on your requirement. With the help of
authentication schemes and identity providers, you can enforce MFA for specific users with a
specific login mechanism.  
You can enforce MFA for the following conditions:

* Authentication Scheme
* Identity Provider

MFA with SSO is offered as a part of the Adaptive Authentication plugin
(com.snc.adaptive_authentication). To know more on how to set up Adaptive Authentication, see
[Adaptive authentication](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/XQ5OEG0LBshxmWwXEKVReg "Use the Adaptive authentication policy framework to enforce contextual authentication controls to the right users at the right time. Adaptive authentication uses authentication policies to evaluate authentication requests and then either deny or allow access to your instance based on the specified policy conditions.").
