Why do I need to provide multi-factor authentication when I log into my account?
We've made some changes to the way you access your account to improve the safety of your personal information.
What’s the change?
From now on, when you contact us or log in to your account, we will take some extra steps to check that you’re really you.
When you chat with our customer service team
If you contact us (or we contact you) about any “high-risk customer interactions”, such as a SIM swap or updating personal and payment information, we will still require you to identify yourself using your full name, date of birth, address, and mobile phone number. Then, we will also ask you to use multi-factor authentication via SMS or email to check that the request comes from you.
When you log in to MyAccount
Whenever you log in to your numobile account, you will now also be asked to complete multi-factor authentication via SMS or email.
Why are we doing it?
We want to confirm that you are really you to reduce the chances of your personal and account information being accessed by unauthorised persons. Multi-factor authentication has been rolled out across Australia by all telcos to improve security.
What do you need to do?
Please check your personal information is up to date in My Account. When you are asked to complete multi-factor authentication, we’ll guide you through the process step-by-step.
