Multi-Factor Authentication


Multi-factor authentication is used on the portal to increase security and help protect your data. After entering your username and password, you will be sent a one-time passcode to enter in order to log in.

Setting Initial Multi-Factor Authentication Preferences

Existing Users

For existing users who have not set their multi-factor authentication preferences, upon login you will be required to specify those preferences by providing an email address and/or a phone number capable of receiving text messages, and indicate which of those two methods, email or text, is preferred. After specifying these preferences, a one-time passcode will be sent via the preferred method to continue logging in.

New Users

New users to the portal will be required to specify their multi-factor authentication preferences upon initial login as part of the process to reset the initial temporary password. After providing an email address and/or phone number capable of receiving text messages, indicating the preferred authentication method, and entering a new password, a one-time passcode will be sent via the preferred method to continue logging in.

FAQ

The one-time passcode isn't working.

Only the most recently sent code is valid. This means that if you trigger a code to be resent, whether by the same or different method, any previously received codes will not work. If you are still experiencing issues, contact  websupport@issny.org  .

I didn't receive the one-time passcode.

It may take up to a minute to receive the passcode. If you still haven't received it, you can click  Resend Code  to resend a new code using the same method. To receive a code using an alternate method, click  Email Code  or  Text Code  .
Users can resend the code up to ten times in a ten minute window. After reaching that limit, they must wait ten minutes before they can request a new code. The ten minute window is reset after each successful login.
