   SELECT tfa.[ixPerson], p.[sFullName], p.[sEmail]
   FROM [trial1].[dbo].[PersonTFA] tfa
   inner join [trial1].[dbo].[Person] p on p.ixperson = tfa.ixperson

   NOTE: Replace trial1 with the name of your database.

   If...	Then...
   One user	Select the user ID of the account having 2FA disabled and replace theixPerson value with the user ID in the following script: DELETE FROM [trial1].[dbo].[PersonTFA] where ixPerson = 2
   A set of users	Select the user IDs of the accounts having 2FA disabled, and replace the ixPerson values in the following script with the user IDs, separating each ID with a comma: DELETE FROM [trial1].[dbo].[PersonTFA] where ixPerson in (2,3,5,7...20)
   All users	Use the following script, replacing trial1 with the name of your database: TRUNCATE TABLE [trial1].[dbo].[PersonTFA]
