I would like to bypass MFA for a single Jenkins service account with restricted privileges to the Edge Management API. Has anyone implemented any alternatives?

All user accounts have SAML with MFA enabled from enterprise identity provider. I would like to completely automate the import, deploy and test API proxy stages with just a service user name and password authentication to receive an OAuth access token used to invoke the management APIs.

Assuming this is for Apigee Edge, it's possible to create a machine account https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/system-administration/automating-tasks
