1.6 Security and log on information
1.6.1 Accessing Member Online
When you access Member Online you will be required to set up a username and password that’s unique to you.
When you first log in to the QSuper app, you will be required to set up a Personal Identification Number ('PIN') and, if your device is compatible, a biometric identifier for greater convenience.
'Access Codes' includes your password, PIN, mobile passcodes and biometric identifiers such as Face ID, Touch ID, Facial recognition, and Fingerprint login for both iOS and Android devices. In combination with your username, your Access Codes are the keys to your account and allow anyone who correctly uses them to conduct transactions or operations on Member Online.
You may need to complete addition security verification checks to access funds or perform other transactions within Member Online. You acknowledge and accept that we cannot verify whether the user of correct log on information is a registered user of Member Online. Any actions by a person using that log on information and password will be deemed to be made by you or with your authority.
1.6.2 SMS Security Codes
When we need additional security checks to process your online requests we may send an Access Code by SMS to your mobile phone number that is recorded with QSuper. If you change your mobile number please update your QSuper contact details accordingly. You’ll need to promptly enter the received Access Code into Member Online for the transaction to be processed.
We recommend you nominate a mobile phone number used only by you. If the mobile phone is also used by other people, they may receive, or be able to access your SMS Access Codes.
We don’t charge you a fee for sending SMS Access Codes to your mobile phone. However, your mobile phone service provider may impose fees and charges, including fees and charges for sending and receiving SMS messages. The payment of any such fees and charges is the responsibility of the mobile phone account holder. If you have any concerns regarding such fees and charges speak with your service provider.
1.6.3 Your responsibilities
You acknowledge that:
- It is your responsibility to ensure that the device(s) you use to access Member Online are appropriately secure by installing and maintaining up-to-date anti-malware software, keeping Operating Systems and apps updated to the latest version;
- It is your responsibility to protect your Access Codes from becoming known to a third party;

- You must notify QSuper immediately if you know or suspect that any of your Access Codes have become known to a third party, or if you know or suspect any unauthorised use of your password;
- We do not guarantee the delivery of communications over the internet as such communications rely on third party service providers. Electronic communications (including email) are vulnerable to interception by third parties and we do not guarantee the security of these communications or the security of Member Online.

We do not advise you to access Member Online from computer terminals which are shared with other users (e.g. internet cafes).
