  1. Use a Personal Account for Authentication

- The account registered in the authenticator app should be your personal account.

- Avoid using shared or temporary accounts to ensure security.

- Keep your personal account credentials secure and do not share them with                   others.

- Required for Secure Access: The authenticator app is mandatory for accessing the Benefits Made Better platform and other portals.

- Enhanced Security: Protects against unauthorized access by adding an extra layer of security.

- Prevents Phishing & Cyber Attacks: Unlike SMS-based authentication, authenticator apps are not vulnerable to SIM-swapping attacks.

- Faster and More Reliable: Generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) without requiring an internet connection.

 

 

  1. Using the Authenticator App for 2FA and Portal Access

- The authenticator app will be used not only for 2FA authentication but also for accessing the Benefits Made Better platform.
