Two-factor authentication

To ensure security, Jurisdiction Portal uses two-factor authentication (TFA) codes when you sign in. TFA ensures the security of Jurisdiction Portal by requiring all users to enter something they know (their passwords) and something they have (TFA codes) before they can access the system.

A TFA code is also known as a one-time code because it changes or expires within a set amount of time to ensure no one can guess it.

You can access your TFA code for Jurisdiction Portal by scanning a QR code with Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator on your mobile device. From then on, you only open the mobile app to access your TFA code when you sign in. If you do not want to use your mobile device, you can choose to receive your TFA code in an email during the sign in process. For example, if your location does not permit cell phones, you can use the email method. But, you must use a TFA code to sign in to Jurisdiction Portal.
