MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) FAQs and Troubleshooting
What if the Multi-Factor Authentication verification code is not received?
Troubleshooting:
- Have a code sent to you again. Text codes expire after five minutes, and Authenticator App codes change every 30 seconds.
- If this is your first time authenticating, a third-party security app on your mobile phone might be blocking the text message or phone call. Try disabling the security app temporarily while going through the authentication process again.
- If that doesn’t work, try selecting a different primary authentication method.
- If you still don’t receive the code using another method, please reach out to your specialist, letting them know that you are having trouble with your code. They will work with our support team to reset your MFA options. Once this has been completed, your specialist will let you know to log in again and set up your Multi-Factor Authentication option again.
