- Login with your username and password
- Upon successful login to the website, users may then receive an authentication code via one of the following methods listed below:
- Email
- Text Message (see more information in the Text Messages section below)
- Phone Call

Should you choose to receive authentication via Text Message, you will need to “opt in” to text message alerts. You can manage your text message preferences at any time via the “Privacy” or “Settings” section of your account profile.
