Fidelity Two-Factor Authentication

Fidelity Investments Two-Factor Authentication for Account Access

[Fidelity] (https://www.fidelity.com/) offers two-factor authentication, which provides a second layer of protection beyond a password for accessing an account on their website. It uses either a physical token provided by Fidelity or the Symantec VIP Access smartphone app. It appears there is no information about this service provided online and it must be enabled and managed by phone.

Note that this is different than the weaker [“Transaction Security”] (https://fps.fidelity.com/ftgw/Fps/Fidelity/SecurityDevice/Maintain/Init), which only protects certain types of transactions.

Instructions for Setting Up Fidelity Two-Factor Authentication

  1. Do one of the following:
  • Obtain a physical token by calling Fidelity Account Key Support at 800-544-7595.
