Two-factor authentication
We now require two-factor authentication (2FA) to access your DoTDirect account.
That means you’ll be prompted to turn on 2FA the next time you log in.
Once you have enabled 2FA, you will need to enter your password and the verification code sent via SMS to your mobile number each time you access DoTDirect.
2FA is another way we keep your personal information safe and protect against unauthorised transactions.

If you did not receive a SMS verification code or are unable to login using the code, you can:
- check your unknown sender SMS messages folder on your device
- wait a few minutes and try requesting another SMS code
- select “Sign in another way” after entering your password, then enter your driver’s licence and vehicle licence details to verify it’s you signing in
