How to enable Extra Security At Sign-In (2-Step Verification)
Extra Security At Sign-In is a feature that provides an additional layer of protection to your account every time you sign in from a browser.
When you enable this feature, we use 2-Step Verification to confirm your identity. When you sign into your account, you will still use your username and password. We will then send you a one-time code by phone, email or text message. You will enter that code to verify it’s really you and go to your account. You can always adjust this setting in future.
Here’s how to get started:
- Sign in to JPMorganOnline.com
- Select "Security & privacy"
- Scroll down to “Ways you can be more secure”
- Select “Add extra security when you sign in using a browser.”
- To receive codes via phone/text, select the toggle next to “Use 2-Step verification every time you sign in on a browser” so that the toggle turns green
- Optionally: select the toggle next to “Receive one-time codes by email” if you’d like the option to receive codes by email as well
- Select “Yes” to confirm changes
- This setting can be readjusted at any time
