What is Multi-factor Authentication, and why is it needed?

Multi-factor authentication, also known as MFA, is an additional layer of security that requires you to use two methods to verify your identity when logging in. For example, after entering your password, a second method, such as entering a code texted to you, must be entered.

**Use of MFA is NOT optional. Failure to set up multi-factor authentication, will result in you being unable to access your myJones account.**

MFA Enrollment Steps

  1. Login to myJones and click on the _MFA Authentication Methods icon, or you can CLICK HERE
  2. After login, review the Security Info methods that are currently set up for you.
    • Be sure to verify your phone number and/or email is correct.
  3. If no access methods are listed or you do not see the method you prefer, click the plus symbol (+) next to Add method
    • Be sure to add at least one (preferably both) of the following:
      1. PHONE – this will be your cell phone. This will allow you to receive a text or call.
      2. EMAIL – enter a different email address than your Jones email address.
    **NOTE: After setting up each method, the system will immediately perform a verification step for you to validate the information is accurate.**
  4. Be sure to select a Default sign-in method from the dropdown menu
