Frequently Asked Questions: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) with TrustedCare
Q: Why are you enabling MFA for TrustedCare?
A: Using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enhances your organization's security by requiring additional factors to verify a user. Because usernames and passwords have proven to be vulnerable to attack, Entrust is proactively enabling MFA on our portals to ensure a higher degree of security for your business and personal data.
Q: What delivery methods can I choose other than email for OTP?
A: Soft Token and SMS are optional delivery methods; you can update your settings by following these steps:
1. Log in at this link and select the Authenticator tab.
2. Click the “ Add ” link at the top left side to add the new authenticator and delivery methods.
3. After you’re set up to use SMS notification, you’ll be able to select Alternative Authentication on the login screen.
To add a mobile number to your account : email [email protected] .
Note : SMS is NOT recommended for receiving One-Time Passwords. Receiving the OTP through email or using Soft Token authentication are best practices.
Q: What happens if I do not receive the One-Time Password (OTP) email?
