My Telstra Security
Keeping your personal details safe
How we're protecting your personal information. We’ve added multi-factor authentication to help keep your personal details safe in the My Telstra app.
What’s multi-factor authentication?

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) gives you an extra layer of protection to help you securely access and update your personal details in the My Telstra app.
Why do you need the extra security?
Having a password, even if it’s strong, may no longer be enough to stop people who want to steal your identity. Adding more security will protect your personal information whenever you access or make changes to your account in the My Telstra app.
