FCC to Require Two Factor Authentication for CORES Users

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced an upcoming 
change to theCommission Registration System (CORES) 
<https://apps2.fcc.gov/fccUserReg/pages/login.htm>that licensees use to 
pay any application or regulatory fees, manage or reset a password on an 
existing FRN, or request a new FRN. Beginning March 29, 2024, 
multifactor authentication will be implemented.Users will be prompted to 
request a six-digit secondary verification code, which will be sent to 
the email address(es) associated with each username. The user will then 
need to enter the code into CORES before they can continue.

In apublic notice 
<https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-24-219A1.pdf>, the FCC said 
this change will make the system more secure. "This additional layer of 
security will further safeguard against unauthorized access, thereby 
enhancing the overall integrity of information contained within the 
CORES system and improving the security of user data," it read.

The FCC recommends that users confirm they have access to their username 
account email and to add a secondary email address, if need be.

Resources are available for those who need assistance with the system. 
For inquiries or assistance regarding the implementation of multifactor 
authentication on CORES, submit a help request 
athttps://www.fcc.gov/wtbhelp, or call the FCC at 877-480-3201 (Monday 
through Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM ET).
