Step 2. Purchase Credentials 

In order to access most Exostar applications, a two-factor authentication (2FA) credential is required. If the applications you need to access require 2FA, you must complete a purchase.

To Purchase Credentials:
1. Login to your MAG account. Click the Get 2FA button from the My 2FA Credentials section, or under the My Applications section, click Get 2FA from the specific application to open Exostar’s web store.
2. On the Purchase your Exostar Subscription page, select the desired credential, or filter credentials using the drop down provided. Click Next. 
3. Enter Primary Information and Billing Address. Verify all information is correct. Click Next
NOTE: If you are purchasing an OTP Hardware Token, you must enter a shipping address.  
4. On the Payment page, select your payment method: Credit Card or Invoice. Complete all required fields and click Submit to complete your purchase. 
NOTE: If you select Invoice, you will not receive your license key until Exostar receives full payment.
A confirmation screen displays and you receive a confirmation email with your license key. 

Step 3. Complete Identity Proofing 

If you purchase a credential with identity proofing, you are prompted to verify your identity before you can activate your credential. See below for Identity Proofing methods.

Identity Proofing Methods:
We use two methods for verifying your identity:
1. Self-Service Mobile Proofing: If you are located in the United States, you can complete the self-service proofing process using your smartphone’s camera by providing your Social Security Number (SSN), driver’s license or passport.
2. Live Video Proofing: Users located outside of United States must schedule a live proofing session. US-based users may select live video proofing if they are unable to complete the Experian proofing.
Please refer to the Identity Proofing page to learn more about these types of identity proofing.

Step 4. Activate Credentials 

Once you complete your credential purchase, a confirmation screen displays with your license key. You can select to immediately activate your credential from the confirmation screen, or activate from the MAG dashboard via the My 2FA Credentials section.  

NOTE: If you purchased an OTP Hardware Token, you will receive your Token in the mail via US Postal Service. Do not activate your hardware token until you receive it in the mail.

To Activate Credentials:
1. If you just completed the purchase and payment, select to Activate your License Key from the Order Confirmation screen.
NOTE: If you have an existing MAG account, login and from your MAG Dashboard, enter your License Key via the My 2FA Credentials section.
2. From the 2FA Credentials toolbar, find the Have a license key? section, and click Enter it here.
3. Enter your license key. Click Submit.
To Activate Credentials after Identity Proofing:
If you completed your Identity Proofing, an Activation Code is provided to you by the Agent.
1. Login to your MAG account with your User ID/Email and Password.
2. From the My Account tab, select the Manage OTP sub-tab.
3. In the Introduction section, select the “To Register Credentials” click here link.
4. Enter your Activation Code, then proceed to register your credentials.
