What are some IT things I need to know?
Before an organisation is onboarded into Box File Transfer Service we provide an IT fact sheet for your organisation IT contact. RBNZ needs to be notified of users accessing the service outside NZ or Australia.
Will my access expire if I don’t use Box often?
You will be asked to reset your password every 90 days. Please ensure you login at least once during each 90 period to keep your account active. Inactive users will be reviewed and any users no longer requiring access will be removed.
What is MFA and why do I need to use the Authenticator app?
MFA stands for Multi Factor Authentication and is another way of identifying yourself - beyond login and password - used by many organisations and cloud-based systems. It is an important security measure to keep our information safe. It will help us to make sure we are not vulnerable to security threats, that our information and data is secure and reduce risk.
The Authenticator app is the safest way to perform MFA. The app is more secure than receiving an MFA text message because it's a lot easier for a hacker to gain access to your text messages. It is harder for them to gain physical access to your phone, in order for them to be able to use the app.
Please see the Setting up Multi Factor Authentication for Box File Transfer Service user guide for more information.
I already have a Box account. Can I use that?
If you already have a Box account, please contact the RBNZ Service Portal for advice.
