Set up or change two-factor account verification

If two-factor account verification is available in your Portal instance, you can set account verification up at any time by entering a phone number in your profile settings. You can also change your phone number for receiving verification codes.

With two-factor account verification, you are sometimes prompted to enter a verification code when you sign in to Portal. For example, you are prompted to enter a verification code every 30 days, and when you sign in to Portal from a new web browser. The code is sent in a text message or automated voice call to a phone number that you specify.
