Dashboards without MFA

Hello,
We have a dashboard we would like to display on our office screen. No with MFA the session will time out. Is there a way around this or can a dashboard be displayed externally?

Hello Bryn ,

The purpose of MFA is to provide an additional layer of security to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information, and it cannot be disabled or bypassed.However, there are some options you can consider to access the dashboard without needing to authenticate multiple times:

Increase the session timeout period: Salesforce allows you to configure the session timeout period, which is the amount of time a user can be inactive before they are automatically logged out. You can increase the session timeout period to reduce the number of times you need to re-authenticate. However, this may reduce the security of your Salesforce data.

Use a Single Sign-On (SSO) solution: If your organization has implemented an SSO solution, you may be able to access Salesforce dashboards and other features without needing to authenticate multiple times. This is because the SSO solution can handle the authentication process and bypass MFA if necessary.

Regarding displaying the dashboard externally in Salesforce, you can use Salesforce Communities to share your dashboards with external users.
