Mult-Factor Authentication (MFA) provides an additional layer of security to your user account. Once enabled, you will sign in with your password and then a code or notification will be sent to your phone for verification.
To get started you must setup your preferred verification method. You may choose from any of the following:
- Notification through mobile app (Recommended)
- Verification code through mobile app
- Text message
- Phone Call
Follow the steps below to configure MFA on your account.
