myPay now supports third-party authenticator apps as part of its
two-factor authentication logon.

Customers can now install the authenticator app of their choice on their
smartphones to generate a unique PIN that will allow access to
individual myPay accounts.

Once the app is installed, users who have already chosen a preferred
method for two-factor authentication can access myPay and set up their
authenticator selection via their personal settings. Users who have not
started using two-factor authentication will be prompted to choose
email, text, or authenticator app as their two-factor preferred method
the next time they log in.

Instructions to set up your account and begin using the authenticator
are online at https://www.dfas.mil/mypayinfo/2FA/AuthApp/.

Some customers have reported delays in receiving a one-time PIN
necessary to logon to their myPay account. Authenticators do not rely
on text messaging or email to provide codes necessary to access myPay
accounts and will alleviate the frustration of expired one-time PINs
when trying to review or make changes online.

While a third-party authenticator is not required for myPay logon, it
may be a solution for those experiencing difficulties logging in or
wishing to further increase their account security.
