Two-factor Authentication Is Coming To myPay
From the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) website
Effective October 14, myPay accounts will feature an optional two-factor authentication to provide you with an additional layer of protection against individuals who attempt to gain access to your personal information and financial records.
When you log into your account in the weeks following the addition of this feature, you will be asked to opt in and provide either an email address or smartphone number where a one-time PIN will be sent for use in completing the login process.
Two-factor authentication is being used by financial institutions and government agencies to give customers peace-of-mind that their information remains safe and secure.
For now, opting in for myPay’s two-factor authentication is voluntary but will become mandatory sometime in 2021. You are encouraged to set up this feature now to make sure you, and only you can access your account to retrieve important documents, review pay information and make changes such as direct deposit.
