Important
In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts where the signed-in user is acting on another user, they must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.
- Authentication Administrator
- Privileged Authentication Administrator
HTTP request
Remove a software OATH token authentication method from your own account. For a signed-in user to update their own authentication method, they must have satisfied a multi-factor authentication requirement during sign in.
DELETE /me/authentication/softwareOathMethods/{id}
Note
Calling the /me endpoint requires a signed-in user and therefore a delegated permission. Application permissions aren't supported when using the /me endpoint.
Remove a software OATH token authentication method from another user's account.
DELETE /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/authentication/softwareOathMethods/{id}
Request body
Don't supply a request body for this method.
Response
If successful, this method returns a 204 No Content response code.
