Once the verification is successful, Two-Factor Authentication will be enabled for your MyGovID account.

From this point onward, whenever you log in to your MyGovID account, you'll need to enter both your password and the temporary code generated by the Authenticator App to enhance the security of your account.

Why you should use 2FA for MyGovID?

MyGovID is a secure way to access government services online. By enabling 2-factor authentication, you can add an extra layer of security to your account. This means that even if someone manages to get hold of your password, they won't be able to access your account without the second factor, which is usually a code sent to your phone or generated by an app.
 

 Enabling 2-factor authentication on MyGovID is easy and only takes a few minutes. Simply download an authenticator app like ours and follow the instructions to link it to your account. Once set up, you'll be prompted to enter a code from the app every time you log in, making it much harder for anyone to access your account without your permission.
 

 In addition to enabling 2-factor authentication, there are a few other security and privacy tips you should follow when using MyGovID. First, make sure you choose a strong, unique password that you don't use for any other accounts. Second, never share your login details with anyone else, and be wary of phishing scams that try to trick you into giving away your information.
 

 By taking these simple steps, you can help keep your MyGovID account secure and protect your personal information from unauthorized access. So why not enable 2-factor authentication today and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your account is safe and secure?
