Setting Up Phone Number Verification for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

When MFA is enabled for a VanillaSoft account, users will need to verify their phone number for an additional layer of security. Here's how to set up a phone number with MFA:

  1. Log in to VanillaSoft: Enter your username and password as usual.
  2. Verify Phone Number: After logging in, a new module will pop up prompting you to enter a phone number. This will happen the first time you log in after MFA has been enabled, regardless of whether you are a new user or an existing user.
  3. Enter Phone Number: Input your phone number where you can receive an SMS code.
  4. Send Verification Code: Click "Send Me A Code" to receive a verification code via text message.
  5. Enter Verification Code: Input the verification code you received. The screen will automatically progress once the code is confirmed, and your phone number will be added to your profile.
  6. Access VanillaSoft: Click "Go To VanillaSoft" to proceed to your VanillaSoft account.

Note: Once your phone number is verified, you will use this method for future logins to provide an additional layer of security to your account.
