Enhance Your USAA Account Security with Secure Access Code
If you’re looking to enhance the security of your USAA account, activating the Secure Access Code (also known as Cyber Code) is a wise decision. This feature adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a one-time security code during login. Here’s how to set it up step-by-step.
Step 1: Log In to Your USAA Account
Open your web browser and navigate to usa.com. Log in with your online ID and password.
Step 2: Access Profile and Preferences
Once logged in, click on your name or profile icon at the upper right corner of the page. From the drop-down menu, select Profile and Preferences.
Step 3: Navigate to Security Settings
In the Profile and Preferences section, click on Security.
Step 4: Edit Log On Options
Under the Security Settings, look for the Log On Options section and click on Edit next to your current log on method. You’ll be presented with several authentication options.
Step 5: Choose Cyber Code
Select Cyber Code Text to receive a six-digit security code via text messages each time you log in. Alternatively, you can opt for Cyber Code Token to use a time-based security code generated by the Symantec VIP app.
Step 6: Complete the Setup
Follow the prompts to complete the setup for Cyber Code Text. Ensure your mobile number is up-to-date in your profile. If you choose Cyber Code Token, download the Symantec VIP app and link it to your USAA account.
Step 7: Confirmation of Security Enhancement
After completing the setup, you’ll receive a confirmation message indicating your account is now secure with an additional layer of authentication.
