Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is used to add an additional layer of security to protect your financial information. It also allows you to control access of third-party apps like Plaid so they can be securely connected to Relay.
Going forward, we will be requiring 2FA to be configured for all users. For those that have not configured it previously, you will receive the following prompts when you log in next.
Configuring SMS Two-Factor Authentication
- You will be asked to verify your cell phone number.
- If you enter a different phone number than the number on file, you will need to verify your phone number via email.
- After you have verified your phone number—or if the phone number is already on file, you will be sent an SMS with a six-digit code. Enter the code in and you will be able to continue. You may choose to remember the device for 30 days.
- You will receive a confirmation of verification
