GoCo has implemented a two-factor authentication security enhancement, which will affect any VoIP user accessing the GoCo (BroadConnect) portal.

When a user signs in to the portal, they will be directed to the instructions to set up two-factor authentication. The options for the two-factor authentication include a phone call or SMS message.

 

Two-Factor Authentication

Step 1

  • Sign in to the GoCo portal.
  • On the enable two-factor window, select next.

Select the authentication method you would like to receive. Please note that the method cannot be changed after it has been enabled.

If the selected authentication method needs to be changed, please contact voip.support@utoronto.ca to remove the old profile and re-enrol.
