Enroll in MFA using SMS (text message) option

If you aren't yet familiar with MFA, please see this FAQ: What is MFA, why should I use it, and how do I enable it?

If you are here we are going to assume that you've enabled MFA as outlined in the FAQ linked above, and that you have selected the "Enroll in MFA using SMS" option.  Our MFA works with any SMS (cell phone) provider.

First, on the MFA page, click the option to "Enroll in MFA using SMS":

Next, you should see the following prompt:

You should enter your cell phone number (as long as it supports SMS text messaging), then click "Send Code".

You should receive an SMS (text) message within ~10 seconds.  Within that SMS message there will be a 6-digit MFA code.  This code expires 5 minutes after it was generated.

Enter the code into the "MFA Code" field, and click "Complete MFA enrollment":

If successful you will see a page like this:

Be sure to save your recovery code when prompted.  This allows you to access the account if you lose access to the phone number that you used to set it up.

The Brownrice MFA SMS will always come from our SMS number: 575-741-2011

If you are having any issues receiving our texts, please be sure that this number is not blocked in your phone, and feel free to save this nuber as a contact for easy reference!

That's it!  Once MFA is setup you will simply need to enter the MFA code when prompted upon login in order to access your account going forward.
