Advocate

You can have an advocate chat on your behalf after providing consent when you are present. An advocate can only act on your behalf or access your account or information with you present after successfully verifying your identity, including Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) steps, and you agreeing to such action. You must provide consent each time you start a chat and cannot establish ongoing consent.
