Multi-factor authentication coming to CCS system
From October, you’ll be required to complete multi-factor authentication (MFA) before you can transfer credits in the CCS system.
MFA provides an additional security measure that validates user identity, and it’s used across most Waka Kotahi IT platforms. For the Clean Car Standard system, you’ll be prompted to verify your identity when you perform a ‘high risk’ action (eg, transferring credits) by entering a unique one-time passcode that will be texted to your mobile phone.
You need to register for MFA - and you can do this now
Even though MFA for credit transfers won’t be introduced until October, you'll need to register first, and you can do this any time from now. Registration is simple – just click on the Update button in the “My Profile” tab and go to “Register for MFA”.
We’ve prepared a helpful guide to show you what to do.
Multi-factor authentication guide
We recommend that everyone who uses the CCS system register for MFA, even if you don’t use the transfer credit function. This is because we are likely to introduce MFA for other functions in the system in due course, so it means you’ll be ready when it happens.
Please note that if you attempt to repeatedly submit an invalid code or keep asking for a new code, you'll be temporarily locked out for 5 -10 minutes.
