Two Factor Authentication for CORE - Cobweb

Multi-Factor Authentication for CORE

We’re making CORE more secure. Find out more below.

On 6th December 2022, Cobweb will be rolling out Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on the account that you use to access our CORE portal. This means that we add an extra verification step to make sure that you are who you say you are, and that only authorized people can access your accounts for administration of your services.

Please read through the instructions below on how to set up Multi-Factor Authentication. You can also read through our frequently asked questions.
