What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a security feature that requires you to verify your identity in two steps when logging in:
- Something you know – your username and password
- Something you have – a one-time code sent to your phone or authenticator app
This means that even if someone obtains your password, they cannot access your account without the second verification step.
Why is 2FA Being Made Mandatory?
Enabling 2FA on the Supplier Portal protects:
- Your company's sensitive commercial and financial data
- The integrity of purchase orders, invoices, and contracts
- Against unauthorized access, fraud, and phishing attacks
- Our shared supply chain from cybersecurity threats
2FA is one of the most effective ways to prevent unauthorized account access and is considered an industry best practice.
Setting Up 2FA for the First Time
When you log in, you will be prompted to set up 2FA before you can access the portal.
Step 1 – Log in as normal Enter your existing username and password at the Supplier Portal login page.
Step 2 – 2FA Setup You will be redirected to the 2FA setup screen. You will not be able to proceed until setup is complete.
