Microsoft Authenticator - 

 

Once you’ve created an account, or are signed in, click the + sign in the top right corner. You’ll be prompted to choose what type of account you’re adding, personal, work or other. To add Online Banking, select ‘Other.’ Once you make your selection, you’ll immediately be taken to the QR code scanner screen where you can either scan the code provided or choose to enter your code manually.

Scanning the QR Code: If you choose to scan the QR code, you simply allow access to your phone’s camera then point it at the QR code generated for you in Online Banking.

Entering Setup Key: If you choose to enter the 32-digit code provided to you in Online Banking, you’ll click the blue button that says ‘Or enter code manually.’ You’ll create an account name, then enter the 32-digit code and click enter.

Once you complete either option, you’ll see your CoastHills Credit Union account with generated code added to your dashboard. 

Your MFA preferences have now been updated!

Google Authenticator -

 

Select add a code or click the plus sign on the bottom right. You are then given the option of either scanning the QR code or entering a setup key.

 

Scanning the QR Code: If you choose to scan the QR code, you simply allow access to your phone’s camera then point it at the QR code generated for you in Online Banking. 

Entering Setup Key: If you select enter a setup key, you’ll need to first enter an account name – it can be whatever you want to title it, just make sure you know it’s for CoastHills Online Banking. Then you’ll enter the 32-digit code provided to you in Online Banking and select Add.

Once you complete either option, you’ll see CoastHills Credit Union added to your dashboard.

Using MFA:

When you log into Online Banking for the first time on a new device, you will be prompted to use a multi-factor authentication. You can choose from the following options:
Text – will send a code to your registered mobile device.
Call – will call the phone number you have registered with MFA.
Authenticator – you will need to open the authenticator app on your mobile device to retrieve your code.

Once you have a code through one of the options above, you’ll enter it into the prompt within Online Banking. 

Before continuing on, if you’re accessing your account on your personal device, we recommend you select the button that reads, “Yes, register my private device.” This will save you time in the future and you’ll only have to complete this step again if you access your account from another device that isn’t already registered.
