Why was I prompted to provide a one-time passcode?

As a safety measure to prevent unwanted access to your account, and to protect your personal and financial information, we may ask you to provide a one-time passcode using two-factor authentication (2FA) from time to time. Events that may spark the need for this extra layer of security include:

  • A recently failed log-in attempt
  • Logging in from an unknown device
  • Logging in from a new network

If you’d like, you can adjust your account settings to use 2FA each time there’s a log-in attempt. To do so, simply navigate to “Tools,” then select “Settings” and “Security” to access and adjust your preferences.
