    Information

    Activating Two Factor Authentication requires all users to provide a verification code when they log into RMS.

    Verification codes can be provided to users securely via an authenticator application or sent to the email address on their user profile.



    Sharing the device or email used to receive verification codes creates the same vulnerabilities as sharing a username and password.




    Google & Microsoft authenticator applications require Android OS Q (10) or Apple iOS 13 or later to run.

    Refer to your device's user guide for instructions to check the operating system version being used.

    Users with devices unable to run the latest operating system may consider Authy or Email Verification for Two Factor Authentication.
