Note: You need to download VMware Verify App from iOS/Android app store for using different methods of login like push notification and time based code.
- Login to VMware Identity Manager admin console and navigate to Dashboard>Reports> Audit Events and filter Type with Login. It shows MFA id got created for user and MFA enrollment is done as well as User logged into portal with VMware Verify & Password (Cloud deployment).
