Mountain America Credit Union 2FA Setup Guide
Protect your Mountain America Credit Union account with two-factor authentication (2FA). Once enabled, signing in also requires a one-time code from your authenticator app — not just your password.
A Mountain America Credit Union account can be tied to your money and personal finances, so a stolen password is a direct financial risk. Besides an authenticator app, Mountain America Credit Union also offers SMS text codes and email codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience — and it's safer than SMS codes, which can be intercepted through SIM-swap attacks.
