    However, you must have a smartphone or a device (tablet, iPad) capable of running the authenticator app.

    If you do not already have an authenticator app installed on your device, you will be asked to install the authenticator app during the set-up process.

    OR;

You will receive a warning notice. Please read and then click “Yes” if you wish to proceed or “No” to discontinue the process.

Step 7: Do you have an authenticator app installed on your mobile device?

If you do not, then you must install an authenticator app on your device now.

There are a number of authentication apps available on the market. You can find an authenticator app by going to the Google, Microsoft or Apple app stores and searching “authenticator app”. Please select an app that is well-rated. We do not recommend one over the other.

Step 8: Once you have installed the authenticator app, use the authenticator app to scan the QR code on the page.

Step 9: Open your authenticator app to get the generated verification code.

Enter the code into the “Verification code” field and click on the “Verify code” button located underneath the “Verification code” field.

Continue to Step 15.

Step 10: You will now see the “Verify my mobile number” page:

  • confirm the country code, located in the first field, is correct (assuming the customer is located in Australia, this field should display “Australia(+61)”);
  • change your mobile number in the “Mobile number” field; and
  • click on the “Send code” button located underneath the “Mobile number” field.

Step 11: You will now see the “Verify my mobile number” page requesting you enter a verification code.

REMINDER: You must keep this page open while checking your mobile device.

Step 12: Check your mobile device for a six (6) digit verification code.

REMEMBER: It can take several minutes for an SMS to be delivered.

If you did not receive the SMS:

  • Make sure you have entered the correct mobile number for the SMS. If the wrong mobile number was entered, clear the mobile number field, enter the correct number and click on the “Send code” button again.
  • Check your network is available.
  • If there is still no SMS, get a new verification code by clicking on the “Get new code” button, however note that any previous verification code(s) sent will no longer work.

Step 13: Enter your six (6) digit verification code into the “Verification code” field, and then click on the “Verify code” button.

Should you receive an error message, such as “The specified verification session is invalid or may have expired”, then:

  • Click on the “Get new code” button, located to the right of the “Verify code” button.
    • Another text message will be sent to your mobile device. Ignore any previous codes sent and enter this new code into the “Verification code” field; and
    • Click on the “Verify code” button.

Step 14: You will now see the “Verify my mobile number” page with your correct mobile number displayed in the “Mobile number” field.

Confirm the supplied mobile number is correct, and save it by clicking on the “Continue” button.

Clicking on the “Back” button will enable you to go back and change your mobile number.

Continue to Step 15.

Step 15: You will now be directed to the “Thank you” page, confirming the authentication method associated with your two-step authentication has been edited.

Click on the “Continue” button.
