Two-factor authentication is an added layer of security to help protect your information and account. The process is designed to ensure that you are the only person who can access your account and update your personal information, even if someone else knows your password. Once you are enrolled in two-factor authentication, you will need to enter an authentication code when you sign in to MyECP or update your information. The authentication code will be sent directly to your email or mobile phone.
Authentication protects your account from potential fraudulent activity or an account takeover.

Authentication codes are for one-time use only and expire once used or exceed the time limit. If the code has not expired, input the code exactly as it appears, without any spaces. A new code can be requested online.
