How to use two-factor authentication when you log in with RealMe
Two-factor authentication means that after you enter your RealMe login – your username and password – RealMe asks you to enter a code to finish logging in. You will need a mobile phone to complete this process.
You can choose to get the code either:
- by text message, or
- from the Google authenticator app
We recommend you set up two-factor authentication for your RealMe login to get the code by text message as it is faster.
Set up two-factor authentication to get the code by text message
1. Log in to MyFirearms with RealMe.
- On the homepage, click 'Log in to MyFirearms'.
- Enter your RealMe username and password.
2. Click the ‘Settings’ tab.
3. On ‘Change your Mobile number’, click the plus sign.
4. Select your country code and enter your mobile number.
- You can use an overseas mobile number. Your mobile service provider may charge you a fee if you use an overseas mobile number for this service.
5. Click 'Save changes'.
6. Log out of MyFirearms.
7. Log back in with RealMe and follow the guidance to complete two-factor authentication with a code by text message.
