To protect against hackers we are starting to use 2 Factor Authentication. What this means is that you will be required to prove who you are using 2 distinct methods. The first method will always be your username and password. The second method can be any one of the following:
- A text message that includes a temporary password to your phone
- A phone call that includes a temporary password to your phone
- An email message to a different email address that includes a temporary password
- A popup sent through an app on your phone to approve the sign-in
It is recommended that you setup more than one of these methods so that you arent locked out of your account in the event of a lost or destroyed cell phone.
