Securing your Orkla account using a smartphone

Registration for Multi-Factor Authentication and Self Service Password Reset

Multi-Factor authentication is required for everyone and is used to secure our identities and eliminates the possibility for hackers to gain access to your account even if they manage to steal your username and password. The same extra layer of verification can also be used to reset or unlock your account when needed. Multi-factor authentication is the same method which is commonly used by banks(BankID or a code chip).

The first time you sign-in you will be prompted to set up an additional sign-in verification method. You can either use a mobile app(recommended) or a phone(sms/call).

If you want to change verification methods or add additional after the initial setup you can do so here: https://aka.ms/setupsecurityinfo
