Multi-Factor Authentication
Using a password is one way to help protect your account. An additional way to protect it is multi-factor authentication. That way, when we see activity on your account that we don't recognize, we'll ask you to confirm that it's you by using a code sent to your mobile phone or email.
When will it be used?
We'll only ask for multi-factor authentication when there could be suspicious activity on your account.
How do I sign in with multi-factor authentication?
-
Enter your password
-
A code will be sent to your mobile phone or email*
-
You enter the code and complete signing in
How long does the code take to be sent?
The typical timeline is 10-15 seconds, but if you don't receive it after waiting 30 seconds, please select the option to resend the code*.
*email or phone number must be verified through account to be used for verification
What kind of phone can I use for multi-factor authentication?
Please use an SMS (text) capable mobile device. Land lines will not work for authentication.
If a land line is attached to your membership, you have two options to update your account and receive your security notification:
- Sign in to your online account
- Change your method of authentication to email, and you will receive your security code via email
- or
- Update the phone number of your account to an SMS (text) capable device.
- Change your method of authentication to email, and you will receive your security code via email
Can I add a phone# or email to my account for more options when verification is required?
Yes! This will allow the ability to choose which verification contact method you prefer (email/text) the next time that you attempt to sign in and trigger the prompt. (email/phone must be verified through account)
Steps to add 2nd option:
-
ADD EMAIL: Under profile -> Account information -> Personal information -> add your email and verify the email to complete registration
-
ADD PHONE: Under profile -> Account information -> Personal information -> add your SMS capable phone and verify it to complete the registration
-
The next time that you're prompted for verification, you will have the option to choose text or email
*email or phone number must be verified through account to be used for verification
