Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is 2-Step Authentication (2SA)?

    Herbalife Nutrition is implementing an additional layer of security to MyHerbalife.com to protect all your records. Access to MyHerbalife.com will require all Members, Preferred Customers, Preferred Members, and new Members to use 2-Step Authentication (2SA) when signing up.

  • What applications/systems will be protected with 2SA?

    Currently, Herbalife Nutrition is implementing an additional layer of security to MyHerbalife.com only. However, this will be implemented to other applications in the future. When this occurs, we will provide updates and communicate this in advance.

  • How does 2SA work?

    2SA implementation involves 3 steps:

    1. Phone Number Verification/ Email Verification / Answering a Security Question
    2. Enrollment/ Authentication
    3. Reauthentication

  • What are my authentication options? And how do they work?

    You have 3 options -

    • SMS (Preferred Option) – Once you register your mobile phone, you will need to enter and verify the One-Time Pin (OTP) received in a SMS message, which acts as a secondary factor for the secure authentication.
    • Email: Once you select the email verification, you will need to enter and verify the One-Time Pin (OTP) received by email, which acts as a secondary factor for the secure authentication.
    • Security Question: Once you select the Security Question verification, you will need to enter the answer to a Security Question associated with your account which acts as a secondary factor for the secure authentication.

    During the authentication process, you will have 300 seconds (5 minutes) for SMS and Email based authentication to enter and validate the OTP. If you do not receive the OTP, you will need to wait 30 seconds before requesting it again.
    If you enter an incorrect OTP or answer the Security Question incorrectly for five consecutive times, you will have to wait 30 minutes for reauthentication.

  • Can I use different authentication methods each time I login?

    Yes, you have an option to use SMS, Email or Security Question authentication methods each time you login. We recommend that you use SMS authentication method. If you face any issues while using one of the authentication methods, you have an option to change the authentication method to verify your identity.

  • I have already provided my mobile phone number, do I still need to verify/register?

    Yes, you will still need to go through the 2SA enrollment process by verifying the OTP sent to the registered mobile phone through an SMS message.

  • Do I have to use a mobile phone? Do I need to have a smart phone to use 2SA?

    A mobile phone is required for you to get an OTP through an SMS message, which acts as a secondary factor for the secure authentication.

    A smart phone is not required to obtain the OTP through an SMS message for authentication.

  • Which format do I need to use to enter my mobile phone number?

    You need to select the “Country Code” from a drop-down menu and enter the complete mobile phone number (including the area code if applicable).

  • How often do I have to reauthenticate?

    Once you are enrolled for 2SA, checking the “Remember Me” option can help you avoid OTP prompts whenever you log in to your account from that browser and device for up to 180 days. If you do not check the “Remember Me” option while using mobile or email authentication methods, you must reauthenticate for subsequent logins. If you do not use mobile or email authentication methods, you must reauthenticate for subsequent logins.
    In addition, you must go through reauthentication for the following scenarios:

    • For the first login from a new browser or device
    • For the first login from a trusted browser after 180 days
    • For the first login after clearing browser cache and deleting cookies
    • For the first login after updating the registered mobile phone number
    • For the first login after removing all trusted devices from Login Preferences”

    We recommend that you check the “Remember Me” option only on personal devices and not on shared/public devices.

  • Can the system handle international phone numbers?

    Yes, the system will send an OTP via SMS to the international phone number if it is registered as a mobile phone number for 2SA. However, you may incur costs from your Telco service provider for incoming text messages.

  • Can I add/register multiple mobile phone numbers for 2SA?

    You can only register one mobile phone number for 2SA. You will receive the SMS-based OTP on the registered mobile phone number. However, you can grant access to MyHerbalife.com to an additional user with their own login and mobile phone number.

  • On which email will I receive the One-Time Pin (OTP)?

    If you opt for the email authentication method, you will receive the One-Time Pin (OTP) on your Account/ Profile email that you use for Login.

  • Can I receive the One-Time Pin (OTP) on both Email and SMS at the same time?

    You can only receive the One-Time Pin (OTP) either on SMS or Email based on your selection of the authentication method. If you face any issues while using one of the authentication methods, you have an option to change the authentication method to verify your identity.

  • How does the Security Question authentication method work?

    Once you select this authentication method, you will need to answer a security question, which is setup with your account, to verify your identity. You can click on “Change question” to change and access a different question setup with your account.
    If you select the Security Question authentication method and do not have the Security questions set up for your account, you can enter the One-Time Pin (OTP) received on your profile email to verify your identity and setup the Security questions.

  • How can I change my login email address and 2SA phone number?

    As the Member on record, you can change your login email address and 2SA phone number either in “Login Preferences” or “My Contact Information” The email address and phone number in “My Contact Information” will be the same as the information in “Login Preferences”. You will first need to verify your identity by entering the One-Time Pin (OTP) received on SMS or Email to edit the information under “Login Preferences” or “My Contact Information”.
    The additional account user can view and change their respective email address and 2SA mobile phone number in the “Login Preferences.”

    If your replacement mobile phone has the same phone number, you are not required to take any action. You will receive the SMS-based OTP on the same number for reauthentication.
