Two-Factor Authentication

Enhanced Security for Beneficiary Self-Service

We are adding more protection to your self-service log in process. This extra step will enhance security.

Existing Users

If you’re an existing self-service user, you will choose how you want to receive your security code when you log in. After logging in, you will choose between the following methods:

  • Authenticator apps: Generates unique codes for verification
  • SMS/text message: Sends a code to a registered mobile phone number
  • Voice calls: An automated call prompts the user to enter a code or press a button.
  • Email: A code sent to a registered email address

After logging in, visit your “Communication Profile” to make sure you have a valid email address on file. This will ensure you can successfully get authentication codes and notifications.
