Abstract
In aspects of disabling two-factor authentication (2FA) in response to a trigger event, a mobile device detects a trigger event while 2FA is enabled on the mobile device. The trigger event may include or be an example of at least one of an error indication associated with a hardware component of the mobile device, user input indicating to disable the 2FA, or an emergency call initiated from the mobile device. In response to the trigger event, the mobile device disables the 2FA. The mobile device initiates a timer for operation in a single-factor authentication mode based on the 2FA being disabled. During operation in the single-factor authentication mode, the mobile device controls access to a functionality of the mobile device, such as by controlling access to at least one application of the mobile device. After expiry of the timer, the mobile device may re-enable the 2FA.
