The Online Security Code Card appears.

Click Continue.

Use the Online Security Code Card to locate the index number and look immediately to the right to find its corresponding card value.

Type the value in the box which says Required.
-
Follow the same step for the next index number.

You will need to enter a total of six values.

Click Continue to activate the card
-
A confirmation screen will appear. Click OK.

Please continue to use the Online Security Code Card until your DSC+ arrives.
Note: The Online Security Code Card, in contrast, has a lifespan of 21 days, providing the account holder with an opportunity to locate the misplaced device or have continuous access in case the device is lost or damaged, and needs replacement. Account holders who remain without their physical security device and who are unable to log in using either the temporary passcode or Online Security Code Card will need to contact Client Services in order access their account.
