Secure your Account now with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – REQUIRED in June 2023
Beginning in June 2023, your NC 529 Account will require two-factor authentication (2FA) in order to log in. 2FA is an enhanced security measure that requires you to use two different authentication methods, such as a password and a one-time security code, to access your Account. With 2FA, even if someone else has your password, they will not be able to access your Account without the one-time security code.
It is important that you login and update your CFNC email address now, before 2FA is required.
The one-time security code will be provided by email to your CFNC email address or by using a authenticator app. If you’d like to go ahead and enhance the security of your CFI Loan Account using 2FA before it is required, you can use this Quick Reference Guide to get started.
