Two-step verification is an extra layer of security for your account. It cannot be turned off. You may be able to skip it if you choose to have the portal remember the browser you use. Every time you sign in, you’ll have the option to get a verification code sent to you by email or text message. If you prefer to get your code by text, make sure you add your mobile phone number to your profile. Once your code is verified, you can check the ’Remember Me‘ box. This will save the specific browser and device you’re using and skip that step the next time you sign in. If you use any other browser, request your username, or reset your password, you will have to verify again.
