Enhanced Security – New Multifactor Authentication

Sign in to eMoney more efficiently with an improved multifactor authentication process.

What’s New?

  • Self-recovery authentication: If you become locked out due to multiple failed login attempts, you’ll be redirected to unlock your account using two-factor verification with email and SMS for added security.
  • Self troubleshooting: A new Help link will appear providing basic support instructions.

  • Slight visual differences: The login interface and email layout may appear slightly different than what you’re used to. Please note that the email you will receive if you get locked out will come from noreply@okta.com. (See below)

Who Will Experience This New Authentication Process?

Assuming your office has not disabled eMoney default security settings which include adaptive multifactor authentication, and we have a valid SMS phone number, you and your clients will be able to perform this self-unlock feature.  Otherwise unlock will happen the way it does today, after a 10-minute timeout, “forgot password” flow, or with the assistance of an advisor or admin. Learn more about adjusting RSA two-factor authentication here.

Why Is eMoney Enhancing Security?

As a market leader in financial planning technology that helps people talk about money, fulfilling this mission requires constant vigilance and attention to the security of our clients’ information. Learn more about our ongoing effort to enhance security here.
