Testing MFA against sandbox credentials #108

Closed

Description

@favistech

Hello,

I'm trying to trigger the MFA when creating an item but I always get an INVALID_CREDENTIALS error. I've tried different combinations for the password making sure username is: user_good. I've tried different institutions including the five supported sandbox only institutions. Any suggestions?

You can trigger any type of MFA flow that Plaid supports when creating an Item. Do so by using username user_good and modifying the password

    @favistech - Can you confirm that you're using the Sandbox API environment (sandbox.plaid.com)? That's the only environment that supports the test credentials

    Try:

    username: user_good
    password: mfa_questions_2_2
    

    That will trigger two rounds of MFA questions, where each round will have two questions. See the sandbox docs for complete docs.

    @michaelckelly confirmed sandbox usage and that password worked and triggered MFA as expected, thank you!
