Protecting our members, their clients and sensitive data is our top priority. Beginning Nov. 3, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) will be required for all users.
With MFA, you add an extra layer of protection to your account. Even if someone gains access to your password, they can’t log in without your second verification step. It’s one of the simplest and most effective ways to safeguard your information.
The best part? Setup takes just a few minutes. Below are steps on how to set up MFA. You also can watch the below how-to video.
Turn on Multi-Factor Authentication
Before you get started, we encourage you to verify your profile information, including email address and phone number. You can do this by going to My Profile under the Flexmls Menu. Click on Quick Profile Maintenance. Here you can view and update your personal information.
To enable MFA, open the Menu in Flexmls, select My Profile and then click Security.
Next to the Multi-Factor Authentication section, click Enable. A page with more information will appear. Watch the video to learn more, or click Get Started to begin setup.
Enter your password to confirm your identity. Click Next.
Choose how you want to receive your security code.
If you have a smartphone and want to use an app to receive security codes, click Use a mobile app. If you prefer to receive text messages instead, click Use text message. If you do not have a smartphone or cannot receive text messages, click Call my phone instead to receive security codes via voice call. After you make your selection, click Next.
Finish setting up multi-factor authentication using the method you selected.

Log In to Flexmls
After you enable multi-factor authentication, the next time you attempt to log in to Flexmls, you will be sent a verification code via the method you selected. You will be required to enter the verification code in order to log in.
The code resets every 30 seconds. If you are not able to enter it quickly enough, you can click Send me a new code to get another code. Click Remember this browser for 30 days to temporarily not require a code when you log in on the same browser and computer. In 30 days, you will be required to enter a code again to verify your identity.
