SCOPE
Authentication · 6M consumer accounts
HEADLINE RESULT
MFA + OTP at utility scale
01 — THE PROBLEM

Six million consumer accounts needed modern authentication — but every added security step risks locking real customers out of their own accounts.

The overhaul balanced robust security with user-friendly design: modern authentication standards, clear communication, and smooth flows. It directly supports FPL's digital transformation goals and customer growth strategy by providing a secure, accessible authentication experience that scales with the expanding customer base.

02 — WHAT WE SHIPPED
01

Multi-factor authentication

SMS-based verification codes, email authentication options, and backup methods — rolled out across all 6M consumer accounts.

02

One-time password capability

Secure OTP access flows for account recovery and high-risk actions.

03

Stronger password policies

More stringent password requirements and security protocols, introduced without a spike in lockouts.

04

Clearer flows and error messaging

Redesigned communication throughout the authentication journey, reducing friction while security tightened.
