Enrolling in MFA is as easy as 1-2-3!

Frequently asked questions

  • plus minus

    What’s multi-factor authentication?

    • Delta Dental is adding extra sign-in security that provides an additional layer of protection to external users every time they sign in from a browser. This feature is referred to as multi-factor authentication (MFA) or two-factor authentication. When you attempt to log in to your provider account with your username and password, Delta Dental will send a one-time code by voice call, email, or text message. You must also enter that code on the sign-in screen to verify your identity and complete authentication.

    Why is this important?

    • MFA is crucial because it significantly enhances security by requiring you to verify your identity with more than just a password. This makes it much harder for cybercriminals to access your account and steal your information. This added layer of security helps protect against various threats, including phishing attacks and credential theft, which are increasingly common methods used by cybercriminals to gain access to your account.
