You'll need to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) soon
We're adding an extra layer of security to your account using multi-factor authentication (MFA). You're probably using it on some of your other important accounts already, like banking, email, and social media.
You can use MFA now to access your ART account. But we're making changes that mean soon you'll have to start using MFA to access your account in Member Online or the app.
Check your details are up to date
We recommend checking the email and mobile details you've given us are still up to date. You can review these anytime in your profile page in Member Online.
It's another way you can protect your super. This'll also make it easier to use your account with MFA.
What is MFA?
MFA is a security measure that requires 2 or more ways of proving your identity before you can access your account. It creates an extra checkpoint after your password for you to prove it's really you.
How MFA works
If you're using Member Online in a web browser, you'll need both your password and a one-time security code to access your account every time you log in.
If you're using the app, we'll send you a code to verify your device the first time you log in to the app. After that, you generally won't need to enter a code when you log in, unless something changes on your device (for example, you reinstall the app).
Adding MFA to your account early
The good news is you don't need to wait! We've already made MFA available to all ART members.
You can add MFA to your super account today by logging in to Member Online. Here's how you do it:
- Go to your Profile page
- Click the down arrow on ‘Login and security’
- Click ‘Manage’ beside Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)
Follow the prompts to turn on MFA
How to turn MFA on in the ART app
