Where can I find my Adviser ID?

I need help with Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)
-
What is Multi-factor Authentication (MFA), and why is it important for my practice?
Safeguarding your business and client information is a top priority at MLC Life Insurance. MFA enhances account security by requiring two forms of verification to access the MLC Life Insurance Adviser portal.
With MFA, your Login ID are protected by an additional layer of security, which verifies your identity and makes it harder for unauthorised individuals to access your account.
-
Can MFA protect my and my client’s information?
Yes, MFA adds a robust layer of security, making it significantly more difficult for unauthorised individuals to access your account and your client’s information.
-
What MFA options do I have?
You can set up MFA via Email, SMS, or both. You'll receive an email confirming the method you’ve set up.
-
Can I set up both email and SMS for MFA?
Yes. The first method you set up will become the primary authentication method, while the second is optional and serves as a backup.
If you’ve set up both SMS and email, you can easily toggle between the two options when logging in to receive your code via your preferred method.
If you’ve only set up one method and need to switch to another (eg from SMS to email), you’ll need to contact us on 13 65 22 and request an MFA reset.
-
Can I change my preferences after the initial setup?
Yes. You’ll need to contact us on 13 65 22 to reset your preferences, after which you'll receive an email confirming that your MFA preference has been reset.
After the reset, you can choose your preferred authentication method when logging into the portal.
-
How often will I need to authenticate themselves?
You’ll need to re-authenticate every 24 hours or each time you log into the Adviser Portal on a new device.
I’m having an issue with my account
-
My password is correct, but I can't log in
- If you’re using an adviser ID that is 9 digits long and starts with 01, this is incorrect.
- You can obtain your adviser ID from your original welcome email, recent correspondence, or by calling us on 13 65 22.
- If you’re resetting your password, make sure your password meets all the requirements (as shown on the login portal) and is not the same as one of your last 13 passwords.
-
I've confirmed my adviser ID and password but still can't log in
- Chrome is the preferred browser for MLC Life Insurance platforms. We recommend using it to access the Adviser Portal.
- Try using incognito/private window settings in your preferred browser.
- Sometimes, stored information can interfere with the performance of web pages. You may need to clear cookies and cache in your browser settings.
- If you’ve cleared cookies and cache and Chrome still isn’t working, try another browser such as Safari, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox. While Chrome is our preferred browser, your home network and set-up may affect its performance.
- If you’ve tried these options and they haven’t worked, please call us on 13 65 22.
I need help with something else
-
My client has a policy with you, but can’t see their policies when they log in
If your client has a policy with us, they may not be able to log in or see your policies because:
- the policy is owned by more than one party (that may include trustees of a super fund), so only the primary correspondent has access to the online portal. The primary correspondent can use their customer number to log in and view policy information.
- the policy is owned by a self-managed super fund (SMSF), so online access must be granted by the trustee of the fund.
- the trustee is a company, so the customer number is only provided to director/s of the company.
Online access is only available for the following product suites:
- MLC Insurance & MLC Insurance Super,
- Protectionfirst, and
- Personal Protection Portfolio and Life Cover Super.
-
I’m having another issue that isn’t listed here

Alternatively, you can call us on 13 65 22, 8.30am to 6pm (AEST/AEDT), Monday to Friday.
