These capabilities control how users recover access when a method fails, how the sign-in screen behaves across logins, and other behaviors layered on top of the underlying authentication methods. Some of these capabilities can be configured from the AdminX interface and applied by the 1Kosmos Credential Provider at login. The pages in this section describe each capability, when to use it, and how to configure it: * **Fallback Authentication** — give users a secure way to regain access with a Helpdesk-issued one-time passcode when their primary method fails. * **Remember Last Authentication Method** — default users to the method they last signed in with successfully, while still letting them choose another. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.1kosmos.com/authentication/windows-workstation-mfa/capabilities.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
