Fob-U-Less SafeMLS Security Update
NorthstarMLS is getting closer to going key fob token-free for login! They will test the new tokenless SafeMLS security system in early March. The vendor is completing the infrastructure and software set-up. Assuming there are no major issues during the testing phase, they expect to be ready for release by the end of March.
When they release, changing over your user ID to token-free will be a simple online process that you can complete anytime at your convenience over a 30-day period. Once you changeover, your key fob token will automatically be deactivated, and you will log on with your User ID and a single password, to the MN MLS, that you create and use each time you login. You will no longer need the key fob token or a PIN number. The new password you create for yourself will be 8 characters, case sensitive, and will include at least one number but no symbols. You will be able to keep it as long as you wish and not have to change it every 90 days.
The switch to tokenless SafeMLS access will NOT reduce the security of NorthstarMLS access. In fact, the new tokenless technology provides improved security with much less inconvenience for you. Also, you can continue to be assured that NorthstarMLS’ convenient Single Sign On and administrative support logins will continue to offer you the benefits to which you have become accustomed.
