Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is an optional method of authentication that requires you to provide two or more verification factors to login to your account, making it more secure. You will be sent verification codes to use during login.

It can be changed from the MFA reset page under My account.

Choose to receive your MFA verification codes by either:

• Email (recommended)
• Via the Microsoft Authenticator app
• Phone (SMS or call) * Charges may apply

What happens when I select an MFA option?

Email

When you provide an email address for MFA you will be emailed a code to confirm your account identity. Verification code emails will be sent from orders@perthmint.com  and clearly indicate they are from The Perth Mint. Please note this code will expire after five minutes at which point you will need to request a new code be sent. You can attempt this five times before getting an authentication error, at which point you can return to the Login/Register page and try again..

Phone (SMS and call)

Choose to receive a phone call or a text message to confirm your account. The phone call will come within 10 seconds of selection and will be from an American phone number.

The SMS mobile code will come from sender msverify or Microsoft and the text will indicate the message has been sent to verify your Perth Mint account. The code will expire after three minutes, at which point you will need to request it be resent. You can attempt this three times before getting an authentication error, at which point you can return to the Login/Register page and try again.

Microsoft authenticator app

When you choose the Microsoft authenticator app to receive codes, follow the instructions in the registration process to add Gold Corporation to your list of accounts (you can rename this in the app if you wish).

You may need to download the app if you are not already using it. As you will be required to scan a QR code to use the app, it may be easier to set up the account on your desktop and scan the code with your mobile device, if you are unable to scan a QR code from your device while using it.

The code will change every 30 seconds in the app. You can attempt this six times before getting an authentication error, at which point you can return to the Login/Register page and try again.

I haven’t received my code, what do I do?

Please check the email address or phone number is correct. If you need to update this, please contact the relevant team below. Verification emails may also land in your spam folder so please check there.
