Multi-Factor Authentication FAQs
What is Multi-Factor Authentication?

MFA combines your existing username and password with an additional security factor, usually a temporary verification code sent to you, to confirm your identity and keep your online information secure.

MFA has been widely adopted by banking and social media websites and apps, as it enhances online security by adding another level of identity verification and protection to online accounts.

Once MFA is implemented, upon logging in for the first time on any device, you will be asked to enter a verification code. You will be able to choose how you receive this, either by email, SMS/text, or phone call.

Once completed for that device you won’t have to repeat the MFA process each time you login, unless the authentication system detects unusual user behaviour (for example changes to device location, device resets, using different internet browsers, unusual times or frequency of accessing your account).
