Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds another layer of identity verification to your sign-in process so your protection against hacking and fraud attempts is stronger and more secure than a simple password. 

Who is required to use MFA?

It is recommended that all staff enable MFA, but it's only required for staff members that need to transmit electronic files from UltraTax CS. Those that do not need to transmit don't have to enable MFA for their accounts.

Onvio.us accounts, use the two-step verification information for Onvio.

MFA Options 

Primary options

• Thomson Reuters Authenticator app. Free, on Apple iOS and Android devices, and is the only MFA option that includes push notifications.
• Thomson Reuters Authenticator Card. These cards have been discontinued. Existing cards will be supported through May 2022.
• Third-party authenticator apps. From Microsoft, Google, Symantec, Duo, LastPass, etc.

  Choose this if you already uses one of these apps and want to use it for your Thomson Reuters applications.

Backup options

• Pair your account to another device that you can use if your primary isn't available. This can be another phone, tablet or the TR Authenticator Card.
• Generate emergency access codes after the initial setup.
• Account recovery for the Thomson Reuters Authenticator app.   Back up to iCloud or Google Drive.
• Admin-generated codes for lost or replaced devices. If you lose your phone or device, your admin can assign a temporary 24-hour code to your account.
