What is multi-factor authentication?

Multi-factor authentication, a security measure, helps prevent cybercriminals from accessing your account, even if they have your password. Here鈥檚 how it works: If you log in from an unrecognized computer or mobile phone, forget your password, or make changes to your account, or if we suspect something out of ordinary, we鈥檒l send you a unique verification code to confirm it鈥檚 really you. You then enter that unique code, along with your username and password, to access your account.

What is an authenticator app and how does it work?

An authenticator app is a third-party app you install on your mobile device or computer. All authenticator apps work like this: Once you open the app and choose the account you鈥檙e trying to log into, the app will generate a unique, one-time-use code to enable log in.

Authenticator apps are secure, with regularly refreshed codes unique to your device. Plus, if someone tries to gain access to your account, it鈥檚 more difficult for them to intercept your code since it鈥檚 generated by software installed on your device.

How do I install an authenticator app?

Our site has been optimized to work with the Google Authenticator app, but many other apps will work. If you wish to use Google Authenticator, here鈥檚 how to install it:

  1. Open the App Store or Play Store and search for Google Authenticator (look for a multi-colored asterisk).
  2. Install the Google Authenticator app.

If you wish to install another authenticator app, you may search for 鈥渋nstall authenticator app鈥 in your browser or in the app store you prefer.
