myAEC uses multi-factor authentication which provides an additional layer of security and protection beyond traditional username and password combinations.

Multi-factor authentication is when you use two or more different types of actions to verify your identity. For example, when you receive an authentication code by SMS after entering your password to log into an online account. Multi-factor authentication defends against the majority of password-related cyberattacks. Visit the Australian Signals Directorate website for more information.

For additional security, the AEC uses reCAPTCHA to ensure you are a human and not a robot.
