# Configuring the Self Service portal end-user experience

You can configure what information appears to end users in **Self Service**, also known as the PingOne Self-Service - MyAccount app. You can choose the sign-off method that PingOne uses when end users sign off from the MyAccount app. Learn more in [System applications](../applications/p1_system_applications.html).

   | **Manage Authentication**  | Allow end users to manage their authentication methods, such as email, security key, text message, or authenticator app.&#xA;&#xA;Users should always include the country code when pairing a device. Phone formats across the globe are constantly expanding and changing. If the country code isn't included, issues might occur with message delivery.Choose from the following options:- **Enable or Disable MFA**: Allow end users to enable or disable multi-factor authentication (MFA) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">&#xA;\<p>An electronic authentication method where a user is granted access only after presenting two or more verification factors for authentication.\</p>&#xA;\</div>)* for their account. This option is relevant for Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) users.

   - **Manage PingID Devices via MyAccount**: Allow PingID users to manage their devices from the MyAccount app. This option is relevant for PingID workforce users from environments that are converged with PingOne. Learn more in [Using MyAccount to manage PingID devices (Workforce only)](p1_using_myaccount_to_manage_wf_devices.html)

     &#xA;&#xA;Selecting Manage PingID Devices via My account also:&#xA;&#xA;Enables the Allow user actions according to granted authentication scopes option in the MyAccount app Resources tab. This option provides users with a limited set of scopes until they authenticate.&#xA;&#xA;Adds the MyAccount app to all PingID policies that already include Device Management.&#xA;&#xA;To allow PingID users to manage their account with limited scopes, you must also ensure an MFA policy or MFA DaVinci flow policy is added to the MyAccount app.&#xA;&#xA;To add a policy to the app, refer to Associating an authentication policy with a web app.&#xA;&#xA;To disable reduced scopes, refer to Editing scopes for an application.&#xA;&#xA;Learn more about PingOne API scopes and their function in PingOne Self-management scopes.

   | **Sign Off Method**        | Determine which sign-off method PingOne uses when users sign off from the MyAccount app. Choose either of the following options:- **OIDC Logout** (default): Allow the end user to sign off from the MyAccount app using OpenID Connect (OIDC) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">&#xA;\<p>An authentication protocol built on top of OAuth that authenticates users and enables clients (relying parties) of all types to request and receive information about authenticated sessions and users. OIDC is extensible, allowing clients to use optional features such as encryption of identity data, discovery of OpenID Providers (OAuth authorization servers), and session management.\</p>&#xA;\</div>)* relying party (RP)-initiated logout. This option invalidates access tokens, refresh tokens, and ID tokens associated with the session. When selected, PingOne doesn't send SAML 2.0 single logout requests to SAML identity providers or applications.

   - **SAML 2.0 Single Logout**: Initiate SAML 2.0 single logout when the user signs off from the MyAccount app. Access tokens, refresh tokens, and ID tokens obtained during the session remain valid until they expire or are revoked.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
