# What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on the Raise Portal?

To protect your information, the Raise portal uses **Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).** MFA adds a second verification step (via SMS or email code) to protect accounts – to make sure that it’s actually *you* who is accessing your profile and employment information.

Passwords alone can be stolen, guessed, or reused across different sites, making accounts vulnerable. MFA adds a second verification step—such as a code sent to your phone—so even if your password is compromised, no one else can access your account. This extra layer of protection blocks more than 99% of account compromise attempts and helps ensure your sensitive information stays safe.

It’s an extra step – but the 30 seconds or so that it takes to sign in with MFA is worth it.

## How does it work?

- When you sign in to the Raise portal, you’ll first be asked for your email and password, then we’ll send a six-digit code **to the phone number we have on file for you.**

- You’ll receive an SMS (text) message with a six-digit code, and a reminder to not share this code with anyone – the Raise team won’t ask you for this code as we can’t enter it and sign in on your behalf.

- Enter the six-digit code, and click **VERIFY.**
