User Removal Tool

Article summary

Our 'User Removal Tool' is used to clear out client credentials and data cached to the local MFA client. The most common use case for this method is when the client has a large number of users that need to be cleared out and/or if you are seeing a growing number of issues trying to enroll a user's authentication method (cached credentials can get in the way of enrollments). If you only have a one-off user, see our Remove Cached Credentials From Client document highlighting the built in method.

Download the correct version

The removal tool number must match that of the client version of the computer you are on. Be sure to download the corresponding client version, and follow the instructions below. If the version you are looking for is not available, then it is no longer supported.

Running The UserTool

  1. Place the user tool where you'd like on the machine.
  2. Open an elevated command prompt or PowerShell where the .exe is placed or navigate to its path.
  3. Run the UserTool-xxxx.exe.

Below are the different options the User Removal Tool offers:

UserTools.exe [-r]|[-rsa][-ra][-ca][-cr] [username] [cuid]
-r      remove user from local cache
-rsa    remove secured apps of user in local cache
-ra     remove all users
-ca     add card [cuid] for user [username]
-cr     remove card [cuid]
-fpe    export fingerprints
-fper   export raw fingerprints 

*the [brackets] from Line 1 in the above example should be omitted when actually running the tool


Example to remove all users cached on the client:

UserTool-xxxx.exe -ra
