What to Expect When Selecting Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Voice Call

If you choose to receive a phone call for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) instead of an SMS message, here’s what you can expect:

Voice Call Experience

  • The call will come from a California area code (likely a 424 area code).
  • No need to speak or press any buttons; the process is fully automated.
  • An automated voice will speak the 6-digit code:
    • The code is spoken slowly and clearly (takes about 6 seconds).
    • The code will be repeated 3 times, with each repetition taking about 6 seconds.
  • After the third repetition, the call will automatically hang up.
  • The total call duration will be around 35 seconds.

If You Miss the Code

  • Log back into your PaymentWorks account and request the code again.
  • Important Note:
    • If you request the code more than 5 times in a row, you will be temporarily locked out for 1 hour. You will need to wait before requesting another code.

Steps to Log Back Into the Platform

  1. Access the Login Page:

  2. Enter Your Credentials:

    • Use the email address associated with your PaymentWorks account as your login name.
    • If you don’t remember your password, click “Forgot Password” to receive a reset email.
  3. Reset Password (if needed):

    • Follow the instructions in the reset email to create a new password.
  4. Retry MFA:

    • Once logged in, you will be prompted for MFA again. Select the option to resend the code if needed.
