Beginning 1 February 2023, ARIN will require two-factor authentication (2FA) on all ARIN Online accounts. Customers can choose between Time-Based One-Time password (TOTP), SMS-based, and Fast Identity Online 2 (FIDO2/Passkey).
We had initially planned to enforce 2FA following the deployment of SMS-based 2FA, but we opted to delay the implementation of enforcing 2FA for all ARIN Online accounts until we were able to complete implementation of FIDO2 due to significant community feedback received during our community consultation on this change. FIDO2/Passkey support is now available. You can learn more about your 2FA options by visiting our website: https://www.arin.net/reference/materials/security/twofactor/ By requiring 2FA for ARIN Online accounts that control number resources, the ARIN community should see stronger security for the registry, reduced risk of account fraud attempts, and increased confidence in the integrity of their ARIN resources. We strongly encourage account holders to set up 2FA in advance of the flag day for enforcement so that this change is not interruptive to your account access after 1 February 2023. Regards, John Curran President and CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) ---------------------- Helpful Resources: Need help setting up your 2FA? Visit https://www.arin.net/2fa to get started. You’ll find guides on enabling 2FA via an authenticator application such as Google Authenticator, SMS, and FIDO2/Passkey. Please note that voice call authentication is not available for new activations, but voice authentication is still available for those previously signed up and approved. We are working to restore this option. We also provide information on how to receive and save your 2FA recovery codes, as well as what to do if you’ve lost access to your authenticator or SMS/Voice phone number. _______________________________________________ ARIN-Announce You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Announce Mailing List (ARIN-announce@arin.net).
