Tableau Cloud experienced a service disruption lasting 1.3 hours due to authentication failures with a backend verification service, specifically affecting Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) functionality. Users configured with MFA were unable to log into their sites, while customers using direct links or without MFA were not impacted. The issue was resolved through a rolling restart of the affected service pods, with engineers actively monitoring each environment post-restart to confirm full recovery.
