🔐 Why do I need to enter a security code?
Multi Factor Authentication gives accounts an extra layer of security by asking users to enter a code in order to login. The more layers or factors that are in place, the risk is reduced dramatically of an intruder gaining access to critical information and data. MFA codes can be sent through three options.
To make MFA as unobtrusive as possible, user codes will be stored on your computer or device for a set period of time after being logged in using this method. Users will only be asked to log in using multi-factor authentication if it is the first time logging in on that device, or occasionally after that code expires.
👉 New User accounts will be prompted to select an MFA Option when logging in for the first time. Depending on what you select, you will have to enter your phone number, email address, or scan a QR code with an authenticator app (ie. Authy, Google Authenticator, etc..)
👉 You can also change your MFA method by logging into your account and selecting the circle icon on the top right and then select the MY PROFILE - MFA tab.
