You will be prompted for challenge questions.
You can choose the questions you would like to answer from a list
of security questions.
There are several language translations provided in the

Pick challenge questions used to verify your identity. Each
answer has to be at least four characters long. The same answer
for multiple questions is not allowed. Once you've answered
the challenge questions, then click the "Continue" button. You
will see a screen confirming that your "Self-Service Action
was Successful."
Then click "Try to continue logging in" to continue.
Add your mobile phone number. Mobile phone registration is
optional. This step might not show up if the mobile phone
system is slow due to usage. If you do not have a mobile phone,
you can click "Permanently Suppress Reminders" or press
"Skip" to enter at a later time.
This process is called enrolling a mobile phone.
You can add, delete, or change a mobile phone number at any time.
If you decide to enroll a mobile phone number, an SMS text
message will be sent to your phone. Look for a message like
this. Enter the one time passcode or "OTP" into the
appropriate box. This will confirm that the system has the
correct phone number. Your "OTP" will expire after 30 minutes.
Then click the "Continue" button to verify your mobile phone is
successfully linked to your username. Again, you will see a
screen confirming that your "Self-Service Action was
Successful." Then click "Try to continue logging in" to
continue.
Next you'll need to enter a non SMC email address. You may be
required to register your own private email if we haven't
pre-registered your non SMC email for you. If it's
pre-registered, you won't see this step.
This step is mandatory so you can receive a one time passcode
or "OTP." Then click the "Continue" button.
Copy the code sent to your personal email into the
following box. This confirms that the system has the correct
email address. Remember, your "OTP" will expire after 30
minutes.
You will then see another screen telling you that your
"Self-Service Action was Successful." Again, click "Try
to continue logging in" to go to the next step.
You've reached the account management screen. You can view
the account management screen to: change your password, reset
security questions, register a new private non SMC email,
change one time passcode delivery methods between email
and phone, if phone is registered, or register a new
mobile phone.
Then click "Logout" at the top right
