An update on Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for the Broker Business Portal (BBP) and the Employee Online Access (EOA) tool
We are excited to announce that we recently transitioned to MFA as part of our ongoing commitment to enhance the security of our systems and data.
As of Wednesday, Aug. 27, we activated a new authorization platform, Auth0, for both the BBP and the EOA tool. We also enabled MFA for all broker and group leader accounts.
Beginning Friday, Sept. 12, when you log in to the BBP or EOA tool, you will see the new login flows for both sites and you will also be prompted to verify your identity via MFA using your email address associated with your respective accounts.
What is MFA?
MFA is a security system that requires more than one method of authentication from independent categories of credentials to verify the user's identity. This means that in addition to your password, you will need to provide another form of verification, such as a code sent to your phone or an authentication app.
Why is MFA important?
Enhanced security: MFA significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access. Even if your password is compromised, the additional verification step makes it much harder for attackers to gain access to your account.
Protection against phishing: MFA helps protect against phishing attacks by ensuring that even if you inadvertently provide your password to a malicious site, the attacker cannot access your account without the second form of authentication.
Compliance: Many regulatory standards and industry best practices now require MFA to protect sensitive data. Implementing MFA helps us stay compliant with these requirements.
Peace of mind: Knowing that your accounts are protected by MFA can give you greater peace of mind, allowing you to focus on your work without worrying about security breaches.
Our Account teams are available to answer any questions you may have.
