To set up multi-factor authentication, either watch this video or follow the instructions below:
Go to "My Account & Settings > Privacy & Security
Click on the Enable button > MFA will be enabled and replaced with a notice that all members in the account have MFA enabled Note: This action is irreversible
Log out of RapNet and go to the RapNet login page: Login & Continue
Secure your Account via SMS or phone call - this is a one-time setup
Enroll your phone number: You can choose to receive a 6-digit code by SMS or phone call to your phone
Enter the code into RapNet to verify the SMS: Continue
Save your Recovery Code: In case you lose your phone, you can use this one-time code to get back into RapNet instead of an SMS.
Log in to RapNet
NOTE: The first time set up of MFA always sends a code to your phone. Once you have set it up, the next time you log in to RapNet, you have the option to receive codes to your email instead of your phone. Watch the tutorial video from 2 minutes to learn how.
Note:
Each time you log in to RapNet, you will receive a 6-digit SMS code.
You can ask RapNet to remember you for 30 days. This works so long as you don’t clean your cookies within that time.
Signing in for the first time or on a new phone or device?
If you have a smartphone or are signing into your RapNet account for the first time on a new computer, you'll be prompted to enter your password plus the temporary verification code that's been sent to your smartphone or email.
Once signed in, you won’t be asked for a verification code on that device again unless you sign out completely, erased the device, or need to change your password for security reasons.
