Configure the Level of Assurance (LOA) threshold

The Level of Assurance (LOA) threshold determines the confidence level required for authentication. If a user's real-time LOA falls below the set threshold, they must verify their identity with a second factor.

  1. Go to Tenant settings > Identity Pools > [Selected Identity Pool] > Sign-in and Sign-up.

  2. Expand the Sign-in section and locate the Level of assurance threshold setting.

    Level of assurance threshold (LOA)

    Defines the minimum confidence level required for authentication. If the real-time LOA falls below this threshold, users must verify their identity with a second factor.

    Recommended ranges:

    • Low (30%) – Low confidence in identity verification. The user may be new or logging in from an unknown device.

    • Medium (60%) – Moderate confidence. Repeated logins from the same device increase LOA over time.

    • High (80%) – Strong assurance. Indicates high trust in the user's identity based on device characteristics.
