First Time Login/Security Authentication
You will set up your security authentications if this is the first time you are logging in. Verizon
introduced a new security process for Verizon's business portals to help maintain the security of
your data.
We don't want anyone to access your Verizon business account without your permission. That's
why Verizon is using some of the latest security technologies to help protect your company
information from potential phishing scams and unauthorized use.
The change requires just a few simple steps:
• A single sign-on process to access information in the portal in which you are currently
enrolled was implemented.
• Your user ID and password are entered on two separate pages.
• You will be asked to add a Security Image - this will be implemented 7/24/15.
See our Security Image FAQs for more information.
You Know It’s Verizon
Criminals can create fake websites that look very similar to legitimate business websites. The
Security Image feature was created to help you confirm you're visiting a legitimate Verizon
website and to identify your company's Verizon business account.
Figure 2-4: Add Security Image
We will ask you to review and accept the Terms &
Conditions (T&C), select a Security Image, and establish
three Secret Question/Secret Answer combinations, and
select two delivery methods to save on file for a one-time
passcode.
Once you've selected a Security Image for your account, it
appears every time you enter your user ID on the Sign-in
page for your Verizon account. When you see the Security
Image you chose, you'll know that you're accessing an
official Verizon website.
2-5Getting Started
Device Registration Helps Protect You and Your Business
A device is defined as your computer, tablet, or smart phone. When we see attempted access to
your account from a device we don't recognize, we'll ask you one of the three Secret Questions
you've selected or you can receive the one-time passcode. It's an added step of protection just in
case your login credentials end up in the wrong hands.
With these and other security technologies in place, we help protect your company's Verizon
account information.
A One-Time Passcode Can Help You Retrieve Your Information -
Securely
Establishing two methods to receive a one-time passcode helps protect you from unauthorized
access to your account. If you forget your password or your device isn't registered; you can
receive your passcode to your selected email or device to proceed with retrieving your private
information and securely sign in.
How to Set Up Your Security Image
When prompted, you can set up your Security Image in a few simple steps.
Review and Accept the Terms and Conditions
You will also be asked to review and accept the terms and conditions the first time you sign in
with the new Security Image authentication process.
Figure 2-5: Security Profile Registration
2-6Getting Started
Select a Security Image and Name It
You'll be presented with a variety of images from which to choose. Select one and create a name
for it that's easy to remember and hard for others to guess. Once you've chosen a Security
Image, you'll see the image and the name every time you enter your user ID/password. You are
given an option on the password page to have Verizon remember your device. Check Remember
My Device if you want this option.
This lets you know that you're on the legitimate Verizon website. It also helps protect you from
phishing scams designed to capture your login information.
Figure 2-6: Select Security Image
2-7Getting Started
Select Your Secret Questions and Enter Your Answer
You'll choose from a list of questions that focus on a distinct aspect of your life and then you'll
enter a unique answer. Your answer should be something that's easy for you to remember, but
hard for someone else to guess. If you need to access your Verizon account from a computer we
don't recognize, we'll prompt you to answer one of your Secret Questions to help verify your
identity. This question is used to validate any security changes to your account including; forgot
password, password reset, and change security image.
Figure 2-7: Secret Questions
Note: If you forgot your password and need to change it, you must answer two of the three
questions correctly. Otherwise you will need to contact your company administrator
or call the CALNET Service Desk at 1-855-CALNET3 (1-855-225-6383), option 2.
During this new process you are not required to change your password, however you
may choose to do so at this time. Refer to Security Image FAQs for password rules.
2-8Getting Started
Establish a One-Time Passcode
Establishing a delivery method of your choice to receive a one-time passcode for future use is
the final step in your security registration. You can elect to receive your passcode to two
contacts. A minimum of two options must be selected, and a maximum of five. One must be an
email address; the second can be a text or another email address of your choice. This
information will be saved on file. In the event you need to recover your sign in information in the
future, the passcode can be delivered securely via one of these contact methods. A one-time
passcode will be used if you forget your password or if you are using a device that is not yet
registered. You do not need to call anyone and can easily sign in using the one-time passcode.
Figure 2-8: One-Time Passcode
Figure 2-9: Enter Code
Enter your code and sign in.
2-9Getting Started Register Your Device If you checked Continue and Register on the security image page, your device is now verified. If there is another computer or mobile device that you use regularly to access your Verizon account, then you will need to register it. You will be asked to do so at your next login if it has not been registered. This helps us recognize that it's your device, and you won't need to answer your Secret Question the next time you sign in from that device. Keep Your Information Private It's important to always keep your Secret Question and Answer private and never register a public computer.
