SafeMLS Tokens Transition Underway

The much-anticipated farewell to SafeMLS tokens began Wednesday, January 13. MLS subscribers will need their Abor.com login and password to enter the new system and on subsequent visits until they are flagged to create a new MLXchange password. If you are unsure of your Abor.com login information, click here to have your password e-mailed to you. The system will randomly flag users to create a new password to log in to MLXchange.

ABoR has been informed that some members are having difficulties when trying to re-authenticate their session in MLXchange. If you experience this problem, sign out of MLXchange and close out all of your current Internet browser windows. Once you have closed your browser, re-open the program and try logging into MLXchange again. This should allow you to successfully log in.

If you are unable to log in or have questions and need assistance, contact the MLS support team at 512-454-7636. For a list of frequently asked questions, click here.

ABoR will host a collection box for your old tokens should you wish to recycle them. You can recycle your tokens at 10900 Stone lake Blvd., Suite A-100, Austin, TX 78759.
