To change your security phrases:

1. From the Actions list, click Change My Security Phrases.

2. Authenticate to the MyID Client for Mac.

   By default, the MyID Client for Mac checks first for an issued device. Insert the device and provide the PIN to continue.

   If you do not have an issued device, or do not have it available, the MyID Client for Mac checks for alternative methods of authentication.

   Note: The order of these authentication methods is determined by the Logon Priority tab in the Security Settings workflow in MyID Desktop. Windows Logon is not available as an option in the MyID Client for Mac.

   To authenticate using security phrases, provide your existing security phrases to continue.

   

   To try an alternative method of authentication, click I cannot answer these security questions.

   To authenticate using an external identity provider (for example, Microsoft Entra), click the link and authenticate using the external website.

   

   To try an alternative method of authentication, click I cannot login with an external provider.

   For details of using external identity providers, see the Setting up an external identity provider section in the MyID Authentication Guide.

   Once you have authenticated, you can set your security phrases.

   

3. Select a question from the list.

   

4. Type your answer and confirm it, then click Continue.

   Note: By default, MyID is configured for two security phrases, except for the startup user, which requires only one. The number of security phrases is determined by the Number of security questions to register option on the PINs page of the Security Settings workflow in MyID Desktop. Repeat the process of selecting a question and typing your answer for each required security question.
