Multifactor Authentication (MFA) for CM/ECF & PACER:
Beginning May 11, 2025, the Administrative Office of the Courts will begin implementation of multifactor authentication (MFA) for CM/ECF and PACER. MFA enrollment will be optional for users with PACER-only access. Users with CM/ECF-level access who do not voluntarily enroll will be randomly selected to enroll beginning in August 2025. By the end of 2025, everyone with CM/ECF-level access will be required to use MFA when logging in. More information about the MFA process is available on the PACER website.
