For the InvestSMART, Eureka Report, or Intelligent Investor website.

The most common issues (and some troubleshooting) are:

 

1. The email or password being entered is incorrect

• Double-check the email address by looking in your inbox. Check where previous emails may have been sent to.
• Try resetting the password here

2. I've not received the reset password email

• Please check your spam or junk folder in your inbox

• If you still cannot find it, you'll need to wait for a team member to assist

3. I can't create a new password

• When making a new password, it has to be:

  • a minimum of 8 characters

  • must have at least one number or a symbol

  • the only four symbols you can use are @ or $ or ? or ! (you cannot include any other symbols)

Here's an example of an acceptable password: AlanKohler@ or AlanKohler11

Here are examples of unacceptable passwords:

• AK11 (too short)
• AlanKohler (no number or symbol)
• AlanKohler# (symbol # can't be used)

 

4. The page keeps reloading, I'm stuck in a loop, I keep being prompted to reset my password.

• This may be a web browser issue.

  1. Try clearing the cache.

  2. Try a different web browser to troubleshoot

• If prompted to reset the password, try pressing 'Cancel.'

If this doesn't help, you'll need some assistance from a team member. You can use the web chat or email support@investsmart.com.au

InvestSMART is pleased to announce that its two-factor authentication (2FA) - or two-step verification security system is now live across all its portfolio platforms, and the Intelligent Investor site.

What is 2FA?

Two-factor authentication (2FA) - or two-step verification - is a security feature that adds an extra layer of protection to your account. Instead of using a single factor to authenticate your identity, like a password, you can use a second, one-time code sent to you via SMS or generated in an authenticator mobile application like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or Authy

How do I enable 2FA?

The 2FA system is opt-in. To activate it, please read the following steps.

You can click here to go directly to this feature or click on the ‘My Account’ button in the top right corner and then on the My Account Tab. You will see the third option down the list is Two-Factor Authentication.

There are two different 2FA methods to choose from:

1. Get a code via SMS/text or

2. Generate a code via an Authenticator Application like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or Authy.

You can choose both methods. If you enable both, the authenticator app will be used as the primary method.

Method for turning on the SMS/Text Message.

1. Turn on the SMS/Text Message toggle.

2. An SMS/text is sent to your mobile device with a code

3. Enter the code and click the “Verify & Save Setting” button.

4. An ‘All Done’ message will appear confirming your SMS authentication is set up

Method for turning on the Authenticator Application

1. Turn on the Authenticator Application toggle

2. Download the Authenticator of choice and then use the generated QR code

3. Enter the code and click the “Verify Code” button.

4. An ‘All Done’ message will appear confirming your Authenticator App is set up

Once you have activated your two-factor authentication (2FA), you will now have an extra step at login. As usual, your first step will be entering your email and password combination. The second step will require you to enter a valid 2FA code from either the SMS you receive or generate the code via your authenticator app of choice.

Please be aware that you can:

• Select the “Don’t ask again on this device for 30 days” option.

  • Choosing this means a 2FA code won’t be required for 30 days.

  • Your login process will be as usual on that particular device/browser.

• With 2FA enabled, you should be able to bypass the Google reCAPTCHA process.
