Increased Authentication with 2-Step Verification

 

What is 2-Step Verification?

2-Step Verification replaces the use of security questions and answers with dynamically generated one-time verification codes. The codes are sent by SMS text message or by email to a mobile phone number or an email address.

Why?

Due to the brief duration of the use of generated verification codes, verification codes are inherently more secure than security questions and answers.

How does it work?

When logging in to online banking members will be presented with an Enable 2-Step Verification enrollment screen. This screen will briefly describe what 2-Step Verification is and allows them to register a mobile phone number or an email address where one-time verification codes will be sent during step-up authentications.

There will be a brief period where members are given the option of selecting Not Now on the enrollment screen. Selecting the option to not enroll now lets the member continue with the security questions for a period of time.

Once a member has entered a mobile phone number or an email address, they can select its corresponding Send Code option to submit the registration.

After successfully enrolling in 2-Step Verification, whenever authentication is stepped up for high-risk logins, members are presented with the Enter Your Verification Code verification screen. At this time, a verification code is sent to them through either the mobile phone or email address that they registered during the enrollment process.

Members are allowed three attempts to enter the verification code before the member’s account is locked. For locked accounts, the member should contact their local branch.

Maintenance

At any time after enrollment, members can add or edit the mobile phone number and/or email address used in 2-Step Verification notifications.

FAQ


Is enrollment for 2-Step Verification mandatory for all members?

Yes. All members who use Online Banking must enroll for 2-Step Verification.

Will I still need to remember my previous security questions?

No. After enrollment in 2-Step Verification, challenge questions and answers are no longer relevant.

Can I register for 2-Step Verification via both SMS and email?

Yes. During the initial enrollment, members can register only one of either a mobile phone number or an email address to receive 2-Step Verification notifications. However, after enrollment, 2SV contact information can be updated from the Profiles and Preferences screen on a desktop and in Settings of the mobile app.

Will duplicate verification code notifications be sent both by SMS and email when I have both a mobile phone number and an email address registered under 2-Step Verification?

No. During each stepped-up authentication where a member has multiple notification channels registered, the user will be presented with a Select Verification Method screen where they must select which channel (SMS or email) they wish to be notified through.

How long before a verification code notification expires and is no longer valid?

The verification code is valid for 10 minutes from the time it is generated. If the code is entered and submitted after that time, an error message will be displayed.

Can I register for more than one phone number or email address?

Not yet. Currently, 2-Step Verification is limited to a single mobile phone number and a single email registration.

Will 2-Step Verification be used to authenticate other high-risk activities besides high-risk logins?

Not yet, but it is on our provider's roadmap to extend Increased Authentication to other high-risk activities such as changing sensitive data like bill payee profiles, customer contact information, and Interac e-Transfer® recipient profiles or completing high-risk payments or transfers.

Is there an option for me to designate a device as a “trusted” device, exempting logins from that device from stepped-up authentications?

No. Any login assessed as high risk will be subject to stepped-up authentications, regardless of the device being used to log in from.

I have opted for 2-Step Verification and lost my mobile phone or can't access my email. I tried to update my 2-Step Verification settings through Online Banking but cannot complete this because the verification code notification is going to the lost phone or locked email. What can I do?

If you are unable to access the mobile phone or email you used during enrollment, call your local Prairie Pride Credit Union branch. We will verify your identity and reset your 2-Step Verification. You will be prompted to re-enroll when logging into Online Banking.

What are Prairie Pride Credit Union’s responsibilities regarding online banking security?

Your security is our priority. Prairie Pride Credit Union makes every attempt to ensure that your personal and financial information is safe and secure. These new enhanced login security features further protect your online personal information.
