Help with logging in and registering for the GMHBA member area

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an extra layer of security to help protect your personal and sensitive information. It requires a second form of verification; in this case a one-time passcode (OTP) sent to your mobile phone via text message or authenticator app to confirm your identity when you log in.

We're committed to the security of our members' information. Multi-factor authentication enhances the security of your online account and protects your personal information from unauthorised access.

Each time you log in to your account, you'll enter the email address registered to your membership and password as usual. You will then be prompted to enter a unique one-time passcode that we will send to your mobile phone via text message, or if you choose via an authenticator app. Only after this code has been entered will you gain access to your account. 

Multi-factor authentication will be required for all members starting from October 2025. You will be required to make sure that your mobile number is correct before this date to continue to manage your policy online and via the GMHBA app.

When you first log in from October 2025, you will need to confirm your details and reset your password. Click the link in the member area and follow the steps below to set up MFA: 

1. Enter your email address – use the one linked to your membership. 

2. Check your email – you’ll receive a one-time passcode (OTP). Enter it to continue. 

3. Phone verification – Check your SMS and enter the OTP sent to your phone to confirm your mobile number. 

4. Update your password – follow the prompts to set a new password. 

5. Log in to the member area – with your new password. 

6. Set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) – select SMS or authenticator app to complete set up. 

After you have set up MFA a one-time passcode (OTP) will be sent to your mobile phone each time you log in to the member area or mobile app. 

Please ensure your details (especially your mobile number) are up to date. You can update your details securely in the member area. 

If you’re signing up to the member area for the first time, you’ll need your member number to log in too, so make sure to have this handy when these changes take effect. You can find your member number on your membership card or within some emails that we have previously sent to you.
