Your GoalsGetter account contains important personal and financial information. Taking a few minutes to strengthen your login security is one of the simplest ways to help protect your account from unauthorised access.
Cyber criminals increasingly target online accounts using stolen passwords, phishing emails and other scams. While we take security seriously and have safeguards in place, there are also steps you can take to help keep your account secure.
Most online security incidents happen because a password has been exposed, guessed or reused across multiple websites.
Adding an extra layer of protection means that even if someone discovers your password, they are much less likely to be able to access your account.
A passkey is the simplest and most secure way to access your account.
Instead of entering a password and a verification code, you sign in using the security features already built into your device, such as:
Face ID
Touch ID
Windows Hello
Your device PIN or screen lock
Passkeys are designed to protect against phishing attacks and can be easier to use than traditional passwords.
Faster sign-in experience
No verification codes to enter
Uses the security built into your device

If you prefer to continue signing in with a password, we strongly recommend enabling MFA.
MFA requires two forms of verification:
1. Your password.
2. A temporary code generated by an authenticator app on your phone.
This means that even if someone learns your password, they would also need access to your authenticator app before they could sign in.

Widely used and trusted security method
Log in to GoalsGetter
Navigate to Security Settings
Select Set up MFA
Download an authenticator app if you do not already have one
Scan the QR code displayed on screen
Enter the verification code from the app to complete setup
Even if you use a passkey or MFA, it's important to maintain a strong password.
A good password should:
Be unique to GoalsGetter
Not be used for other websites or apps
Be difficult for others to guess
Be stored securely using a password manager where possible
If you believe your password may have been compromised, change it immediately through Security Settings.
