1. Account setup
The first time you access the system you will be asked to setup your account with password and multi factor authentication.
First setup your password.
Then choose a forgot password question and answer that question. This will be used to reset your password, should you forget it going forward. Be aware that you can choose which question you would like to answer by clicking the field and scrolling through the options. At the bottom of the list you will find an opportunity to create your own security question. Make sure your answer is a minimum of 4 characters. And ensure that the answer is something you will remember going forward, as this will ensure you can self serve, if you forget your password in the future.
You will then be asked to set up another security question which is for logging in when using the system.
You can choose between a set of questions. Make sure you choose one that you will be able to remember the answer to, as you will be using it to log in.
You will then get the option to setup email authentication. This is not a mandatory step, but Experian highly recommends you set it up to give you greater flexibility when signing in. It will provide you with the opportunity to choose between signing in by EITHER answering the security questions or being sent a onetime 6-digit code via email going forward.
