What is two-factor authentication?
Two-factor authentication, also known as “2FA”, is a way to verify a person’s identity using two different factors. For example, using both your password and an access code sent to your mobile device to sign onto an app is more secure than using only your password. Fairfield DMG may require two-factor authentication to confirm your identity when completing certain transactions or changes online.
Authentication methods for 2FA
Here’s a list of some which works with us:
Hardware tokens
Eligible clients may receive hardware tokens in the form of a key fob that produces codes every few seconds to a minute
Push notifications
SMS verification
SMS, or text messaging, can be used as a form of two-factor authentication when a message is sent to a trusted phone number. You’ll be prompted to either interact with the text or use a one-time code to verify your identity on our site or app.
Google Authenticator
Similar to Hardware Tokens, but no need to receive hardware – simply download to your phone. Google Authenticator is an authenticator app by Google that implements two-step verification services using a time-based one-time password. The app offers a 6-digit dynamic code that changes every 30 seconds, and each verification code can only be used once. Once you have bound it to your account with us, you will be asked to fill in the dynamic code for login, withdrawal, etc.
