Thexyz Webmail provides two options for enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) when you first log in.

Using a multi-factor authentication mobile application

Using a multi-factor authentication app on your computer or mobile device is the recommended method for MFA. We recommend Authy. 

1. Log in to Webmail.
2. When you are prompted with a screen titled “Choose Your Multi-Factor Authentication Method” select Use an Authenticator.
3. Link your mobile device to your account by following the instructions on the “Securing Your Account with an Authenticator App” screen.
4. The last step displays the message “You have successfully set up Multi-Factor Authentication!”

Using text message multi-factor authentication

With text message multi-factor authentication, you can use your phone number to receive a one-time code that allows you to access Webmail.

1. Log in to Webmail.
2. When you are prompted with a screen titled “Choose Your Multi-Factor Authentication Method” select Get A Text Message.
3. Enter the phone number that you want to use for multi-factor SMS messaging.
4. Enter the code sent to your phone in the verification field and click Verify Code.
5. The last step displays the message “You have successfully set up Multi-Factor Authentication!”

Log in to Webmail with multi-factor authentication

1. Log in to Webmail.
2. Enter your email address and password
3. When prompted enter your verification code from the authentication application or SMS text message.

Enable or disable multi-factor authentication

You will have the ability to enable or disable MFA if your Administrator configured it as optional.

2. Slide the Multi-Factor Authentication setting to either the On or Off
   1. When you move it to the on position the system will display the MFA setup screen if you do not have password recovery enabled.

   3. If you move to the off-position MFA will be immediately disabled.
