Washington – Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on MyDOR

Updated over 2 weeks ago

This article walks you through how to log into Washington Department of Revenue (MyDOR) portal and update your Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) settings. Adding Kintsugi’s secure group email allows us to access your Washington tax registration directly—no phone calls or back-and-forth codes needed.


✅ What You’ll Need

  • My DOR: Sign In login page

  • Your Washington MyDOR portal login credentials (username & password)

  • Kintsugi Mail's Virtual Mail Group ID
    [Go to Configuration > Kintsugi Mail > Virtual Mail Group > Group ID)

  • Just 5–7 minutes of your time


🔐 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Log into the Washington MyDOR

    1. Sign in using your SAW (SecureAccess Washington) credentials

    2. After entering your login credentials, you will be prompted to "Choose a method" for receiving the authentication code. You can either select the default option or an existing method, such as receiving it via text message or email.

    3. Once you have selected your preferred method for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), you will receive a two-factor authentication code sent to the email address or phone number linked to your account.

      Please enter (or paste) the last six digits provided to you via text message or email.

      💡 TIP: CCheck “Yes, Remember my device” — this helps avoid repeated 2FA prompts during the process.

  2. Go to your account settings

    1. Scroll down until you reach the bottom of the screen. There, you will find the bottom menu. Simply click on “Update your SAW Profile.”

  3. Update your Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) method

    1. Access the Virtual Mail Group (VMG) ID within the Kintsugi app.
      Navigate to: Configuration > Kintsugi Mail > Virtual Mail Group > Group ID

      Copy the VMG ID:

      ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Please make sure to add your personal or work email in the Virtual Mail Group. This is to ensure you continuously receive important updates and messages from state portals. Check out this help article on How to Manage Your Virtual Mail Group in the Kintsugi Platform to learn more.

    2. Locate the “Additional Contact Information for Security” section of the popup menu.


      Simply paste the Virtual Mail Group (VMG) ID you copied from the Kintsugi platform into the designated field below. After entering the required information, click "Update."

  4. Verify the change

  • A verification code will be sent to the email address you linked to Kintsugi’s Virtual Mail Group (VMG)

  • Copy the verification code that was sent to the email—the one you added or connected in the Virtual Mail Group. Then, paste it into the website or portal to verify and complete the 2FA setup.

Once verified, your account is now connected, and Kintsugi can access it as needed.
