Enable Multi-Factor Verification
Multi-factor verification adds an extra layer of security to your Flexmls login by requiring you to enter a security code when you log in. Enabling multi-factor verification also allows you to be logged in on multiple devices without ending other Flexmls sessions. Multi-factor verification may be required by your MLS.
