Introduction

New users are issued temporary passwords which must be reset during the onboarding process. After resetting their password, users then complete the multi-factor authentication (MFA) setup process. However, when the time comes to update your device or phone number for MFA, these are the steps you’ll need to follow to remove the previous device/phone number and add the new device/phone number in PingID.

When setting up MFA on a new smartphone device, please download the PingID app from your devices app store prior to completing these steps.
Get PingID for your iPhone on the App Store OR Get PingID for your Android on Google Play
