QuoteGreetings eServices Users,

We have some important news to share that will enhance the security of your eServices account. Beginning on November 6, 2023, we are introducing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) as a mandatory security measure. As part of this update, we will be discontinuing the use of reCAPTCHA.

It supports email, offline authenticator, and SMS authentication.

Looking forward to reCAPTCHA dying.

Me too, but 2FA takes even longer to get logged in. Real fun during missions.

If you remember device it does a pretty decent job of remembering your device,
for a while.

but yeah, death to the captcha

No it doesn't. Login. Put in MFA code from MFA app. Done. And has email and SMS fallback.

Thanks. Always appreciate people letting me know what I experienced is in fact not what I experienced.

In this case the 2FA will remember your device for up to 30 days, so the process should be a lot smoother.  I just wish eServices still didn't log you out every 3.5 minutes.
