Understanding Multi-Factor Authentication at Holdings
At Holdings, we prioritize the security of your high-yield banking account. That's why we implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) using authenticator apps. This additional layer of protection helps protect your account from unauthorized access, even if someone obtains your password.
How MFA Works
When you set up MFA for your Holdings account, you'll follow these steps:
Download an authenticator app of your choice on your smartphone.
You'll be presented with a QR code on your computer screen during the setup process.
Scan this QR code using your chosen authenticator app.
The app will generate a unique 6-digit code that changes every 30 seconds.
When logging in to your Holdings account, enter your password and this 6-digit code.
Why MFA is Necessary
MFA provides crucial additional security for your high-yield banking account
It prevents unauthorized access even if your password is compromised.
The constantly changing codes make it extremely difficult for hackers to gain access.
It protects against phishing attacks and other common cybersecurity threats.

Common Issues and Solutions
While MFA significantly enhances your account security, we understand that users sometimes encounter issues:
Lost or new phone: If you get a new phone or lose your device, you must set up the authenticator app again.
Syncing problems: Occasionally, the time on your authenticator app may become out of sync, causing code generation issues.
App malfunctions: In rare cases, the authenticator app may experience problems.
