Multi-factor authentication

Faster login with greater security

Protecting your plan and participant data is a top priority for TIAA. That's why we added multi-factor authentication to PlanFocus. This can mean that sometimes an extra passcode is required when you log in.

Here are two simple ways you can speed up the login process while protecting personal information.

1. Add your mobile number to your account (to receive one-time passcodes via text or call)

2. Set up fingerprint or facial recognition through the PlanFocus mobile app

Watch the short video below or download the PDF to see how.
