How It Works

MFA verifies your identity using:

• Something you know: your password
• Something you have: your Android phone

The Microsoft Authenticator app generates a 6-digit verification code that refreshes every 30 seconds.

Getting Started (iPhone)

1. Log in to myHACC and select "I want to do this now":
   
   
    
2. Tap the blue "Tap/Click Here To Import Token" button:
   
    
3. Choose “Just Once” and you will be taken to your authenticator app.
   
    
4. This will add an entry titled “HACCMFA”  Tap that entry, and you should see a rolling 6 digit number.  That number is valid for 30 seconds.  Tapping the number will copy the 6 digit code to your clipboard.  Return to your mobile browser page, and paste the 6 digit code into the box.  Then press Verify.

Important Notes

• The verification code refreshes every 30 seconds.
• Be sure to enter the code before it expires.
• If the code expires, use the newly displayed code.
• You will be offered a few one-time use codes that you can use as a backup to login in during an emergency where your registered device is lost, stolen, or unavailable.
