Whether you are registering your self-service account or you already have one, you will be prompted to select an additional method of verification to access your portal.
Here at YWCA Retirement Fund, we take your account security seriously. That’s why we are implementing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all self-service accounts, starting Monday, June 22.
Whether you are registering your self-service account or you already have one, you will be prompted to select an additional method of verification to access your portal. This extra step significantly reduces the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access.
What is MFA?
While your User ID and a strong password that you do not share help keep your account safe, MFA is an additional step at login that verifies your identity via a unique six-digit code. At login, you will be prompted to check your chosen MFA method and input the code to access your account.
What are my MFA options?
The first time you log in after registration, or set up MFA as an existing user, only email MFA will be available. However, SMS/text and an authenticator token are also available options, should you wish to switch from email as your MFA default. You may change your MFA method at any time by going to the Security Options menu under My Personal Information.

Please note that self-service registration and login will be unavailable for a short time during the prior weekend as we implement this change.
