Additional Information

What is 2FA?

Two factor authenticating (2FA) provides a higher level of Portal security by requiring each user use an authentication client in addition to their username and password. 

  • 2FA client app must be downloaded and enrolled into Silverline. 
  • 2FA client app generates one-time passcode.
  • Passcode required in addition to users' username and password.

For security reasons, Silverline cannot reset your 2FA. This requires the assistance of a Customer Admin for your account. Please contact someone from your organization with a Customer Admin access level.
