Step Up Your Cybersecurity with MFA

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and at JOEMC, we are committed to helping our members protect their personal data.

We work hard to ensure the data you have entrusted to the cooperative stays secure, but members can take that security to the next level by enabling multi-factor authentication in their member portal.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a layered approach to securing data and accounts which requires a combination of two or more credentials to verify a user’s identity for login. MFA increases security because even if one credential, such as a password, is compromised, unauthorized users will not be able to meet the second authentication requirement to successfully log in.

Preventing unauthorized users from accessing your JOEMC account means protecting your payment information, address, and any other personal information stored in your member portal. You can enable MFA for your account by logging in to your member portal and setting up multi-factor authentication under the “My Profile” section.

Stay safe, and take a step today to protect yourself from malicious hackers.
