General Page
The IBM Support site uses multi-factor authentication to help protect your identity and your accounts. When you sign into your account for the first time from a new device, IBM prompts you to add a new verification method. Click Get Started and then choose the security method or device you'd like to use. The system then guides you through the setup process.
NOTE: If you access your IBMId access through your company's own identity provider (if you are redirected to your own company when signing in to IBMid), this feature does not apply to you.
If you need more help with multi-factor authentication, reach out to the IBM Helpdesk for assistance.
Using Email For Multifactor Authentication
If you choose Email for your multifactor authentication method, IBM sends a six-digit one-time authentication code to the email address you registered with your IBMid. Just enter the code into your browser and click Verify. The code expires after 20 minutes.
