If you lose or change your mobile device, or have had to reinstall the authenticator application, you may need to have your MFA reset for the client portal. Please speak to your HR admin contact to reset your password for you.  This will require a reset of your password as well as the multifactor authentication. Once reset, you will follow the steps as above as a first-time user.
