Minnesota Revenue adds extra layer of security in e-Services

The Minnesota Department of Revenue has added an extra layer of security to our e-Services system. To log in to e-Services you currently enter a username and password. After today, you must enter a username, password, and verification code we send you to access your account. This is called two-step verification.

Why is Revenue adding two-step verification?
We take the responsibility of protecting your information seriously. Two-step verification adds a second layer of security to prevent unauthorized access to your account. With two-step verification, you select if we send you a code through a text message or an email.

Two-step verification is becoming an industry standard for protecting data security.

How do you use two-step verification?
After the initial set up is complete, you must enter a verification code along with your username and password to log in to your account.

1. Log in using your username and password.
2. Send your code. We will send your code using the information you entered when setting up two-step verification.
3. Enter your code into the Verification Code field.
4. Select Login.
