Satya Prakash Choudhary Salesforce MFA and common Test and admin Account setup workaround
Saleaforce would be enabling MFA for all starting Feb 2022. So is their a workaround possible for:
- Having common Test users in (SIT/UAT) instances sandbox. Usually we create some common test users and respective data for testing, and the user account get shared across team for testing. Do we really able maintain this once MFA enabled, or is their a workaround for this?
- Similar to above case, sometime the Inegration user account which mostly get used for Integration work only (MFA would not apply for API access). But at occausion member of integration team use the user credential to login to system and do some verificatio from UI if needed. Can we still do it? or a workaround?
Thanks.

Related to your first query:
Some of our users share a single Salesforce account. How can we implement MFA?
Salesforce prohibits sharing user credentials with multiple users. Before you can satisfy the MFA requirement, you need to resolve any shared accounts or credentials that are in use. This practice is incompatible with MFA because each user must register and connect a unique verification method to their Salesforce account before they can log in. If multiple users are sharing a single account, only one person will be able to log in to that account after MFA is enabled.
To proceed with MFA, make sure you have enough licenses to set up separate accounts for each person who needs to access your Salesforce products. If you need help setting up unique user accounts, contact your Account Executive or Sales team. Or refer to Salesforce Checkout and Self Service to Manage Your Account.
Related to second:
-Create a new cloned profile of system admin, Assign integration user to new profile with disabled MFA
- Enable MFA on the System admin profile so that Admins are enforced to use MFA.
