Description

If you have a user that lost phone and 2FA codes you have to disable all 2FA so they can still login. Would be useful to be able to disable 2FA on per user basis under User Admin to avoid this issue.

Start in User Admin and trace the existing 2FA administration flow, including how 2FA is currently disabled globally. Define the per-user control and verify that disabling it for one user leaves 2FA enabled for other users.
