Multifactor Authentication Coming Soon to CM/ECF and PACER

Friday, May 2, 2025

Starting this month, on a rolling basis the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AO) will begin implementing multifactor authentication (MFA) for CM/ECF and PACER users.  MFA provides an added layer of security to protect against cyberattacks and other security risks. The AO expects to fully implement MFA for all CM/ECF filing users by the end of 2025.  Users with CM/ECF filing access will be required to enroll in MFA.  While not required, users with PACER access only will be able to opt in to MFA.  For more information, please visit the PACER website.
