What is Multi-factor Authentication?

Manage your Services in our Self Care Portal

Multi factor authentication (MFA) is a security process that requires more than one form of verification before you can access or make changes to your Tangerine account.

In addition to your password, MFA uses a one time verification code sent to the mobile number registered on your account. This added step helps protect your account if your password is compromised.

Why Tangerine uses multi factor authentication?

Tangerine uses MFA to help protect customer accounts and personal information, and to support secure account access in line with current security standards.

How does multi factor authentication work?

  • When logging in to the Self Care Portal
  • After you enter your account number, email address, and password, a one time verification code is sent by SMS to your registered mobile number. Once the correct code is entered, access to your account is granted.
  • When you contact Tangerine
  • When you contact us, or when we contact you, additional verification steps may be required. This can include sending a one time SMS code to your registered mobile number to confirm your identity before assistance is provided.

Do I need to do anything to prepare?
To ensure multi factor authentication works smoothly, make sure the mobile number registered on your account is up to date. You can check and update your details in the Self Care Portal.

What if I cannot complete multi factor authentication?
If you are unable to complete MFA, including situations involving personal safety concerns, alternative verification options may be available. Support is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
