Don't Let Hackers Into Your Account

If you receive a notification for MFA approval (whether via the Authenticator app, text or call) and you are not in the process of logging into your MCC account, do NOT approve the MFA. Someone else is trying to access your account.

MFA (multi factor authentication) is an extra layer of protection to prevent unauthorized access to your account.  Even if your userid and password are compromised, hackers cannot get in without the MFA approval on your device.  So if you automatically approve every MFA notification without pausing to make sure it is for your own log in, then you are giving the bad actors access to your account.
