Yes, it is idp.authn.favorSSO (I am looking at idp.properties
right now...).

So you are suggesting that by setting

idp.authn.favorSSO=false

AND

configuring a relying party for a particular SP to "request"
"MFA" OR "Password" (in that order!) then the IdP will see it has an active 
"Password" but because idp.authn.favorSSO=false it will go
ahead and run the MFA flow?

And by doing so the MFA flow logic has a chance to "fire"?

Sorry to be pedantic, but I want to be sure I understand.

Thanks,
