Yes. When you are logging in, before you select "Send Code," check the box "Remember Device". You will not have to go through the verification process for future logins on that device. 

A verification code will still be issued when you access your account on other devices. 

If you do not recognize any of the phone numbers listed for sending the verification code, it is likely that you have entered your username incorrectly. Verify your that your username is correct and try again. If the problem persists, call our Member Support Center at (800) 766-4328, ext. 1. 

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security feature that requires more than one method to verify the user's identity for a login or to perform certain transactions. 

If the MFA feature does not recognize the device you are using to log in or detects uncharacteristic behavior, an extra layer of security is triggered, requiring you to take an additional step to verify your identity.

A verification code (which you will need to complete the login process) is sent to you by text, email, or phone call -- your choice. A verification code is generated each time you log in, unless you have registered your device by checking the "Remember Me On This Device" option on the login screen.

In most cases, future logins from a registered device will not require MFA. However, a verification code will still be issued and needed to complete the login process when using other unregistered devices.

HELPFUL SCREENSHOTS
