Reminder: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is coming to the ob体育 Regulatory Portal
From late October 2024, you will require multi-factor authentication (MFA) to access your account.
MFA provides an extra layer of security, helping prevent unauthorised access to your account.
Once MFA is enabled, a one-time code will be sent directly to your email address (username) each time you log in. To ensure a smooth log in, verify your email address is correct under 鈥楳y details鈥�. This will ensure you receive the one-time code once MFA is required.
All听听account users will receive further communications about MFA direct to their email address.
For more information about the terms and conditions of your portal account, refer to the .
