Multifactor Authentication Process

What is Multifactor Authentication (MFA)?

MFA is an extra layer of security for your Shelter account. In addition to your password, every time you log in, you’ll enter a temporary code sent to you by email, text, or an authentication app. This takes only two minutes and helps protect your account from unauthorized access.
