Multifactor Authentication Helps Safeguard Account Information

Multifactor authentication is a security system designed to thwart fraudulent attempts to gain access to your account. In the coming weeks, you'll be asked to register for the new system. For a period of time, you may choose either the old or the new method when you log on. However, eventually the new system will be required. Watch for posted dates.

How to Register
SESLOC eBranch users can register for the new system by visiting www.sesloc.org. Registration is quick and easy – you simply set up five security questions and answers and create a personal security image.

Once registered, you can log in to your account in three easy steps:

Step 1: Enter your account number and the random numerical security code that appears on your computer screen. Click “sign in.”

Step 2: Provide the answer to your security question if you're using an unregistered computer.

Step 3: Locate your personal security image on your screen. When it appears, enter your PIN by using your mouse to click on the graphical keyboard.

For more information about multifactor authentication, as well as an online demonstration of the new system, visit us at www.sesloc.org.

Our new system will give you additional peace of mind. It provides protection against the following threats:

Threat		Solution
Keylogging: A program that captures every key typed on your keyboard.		A graphical keyboard that requires the use of a mouse to enter your PIN. Mouse movements cannot be logged with keylogging software.
Brute Force Attack: A program that tries every combination of letters and numbers until it finds your account information.		Security code, a randomly generated number that must be read visually and that you must re-type to log in. These programs cannot anticipate this.
Spoofing: A fake Web site designed to trick you into providing account information.		Security image with a phrase you selected. If you don't see it, you're on a spoofed site.
Unauthorized Access: Someone attempting to access your account from a computer other than your own.		An encrypted software token (cookie) is placed on your computer when you register it. If anyone (including you) attempts to access your account from any other computer, they will be required to answer challenge questions you have set up.
