# Require Multi-Factor Authentication for AI Voice Agent

Use a system property to control whether Multi-Factor Authentication \(MFA\) is required for the AI voice agent authentication feature.

Use the **glide.voice.authenticate.mfa\_mandatory** system property to control whether Multi-Factor Authentication \(MFA\) is required for the AI voice agent authentication feature. MFA requires users to provide two or more different verification factors to access a service or account. Examples of factors are SoftPIN or time-based one-time password \(TOTP\). More information about authentication factors for AI voice agents can be found at [Authentication factors for AI voice agents](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-security/authentication/explore-authentication-factors.md).

Ensure the **glide.voice.authenticate.mfa\_mandatory** system property is set to `true`.

**Important:** The sys\_id of this System Properties \[sys\_properties\] record should be e0f4e8bd70103210f87732f6ceab0a2f.
