How do I complete two factor authentication (i.e. receiving a code before login)
All Equitable accounts are protected with two factor authentication, where a user must receive a 6 digit code to either an e-mail address or phone number on file. There are three options to receive a one time passcode:
- Via Text Message
- Via a Voice Call
- Via an e-mail address on file
If you do not see an option that meets your needs or are trying to use a phone number that is outside of the US you will need to call (877) 222-2144; Monday – Thursday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM and Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM (EST) to add or change a phone or e-mail for two factor authentication.
