Two-Factor Authentication
Great Lakes uses Symantec Validation and ID Protection (VIP) for two-factor authentication. You're required to provide a security code in addition to your user ID and password for safe and secure account access. This code can be obtained from a VIP credential that has been registered for use on mygreatlakes.org. The same VIP credentials can also be registered for use on other VIP member sites, such as other student loan servicers' websites.
