Change your password
1
Fill in the Change Password card
Enter Current Password, then New Password and Confirm New Password. The new password must be at least 8 characters.
2
Select Update Password
You get Password updated successfully. If the current password is wrong you get “Incorrect current credential. Please check and try again.” and nothing changes.
If you have forgotten your password, use the reset link on the sign-in page instead. That screen shows a strength meter and requires all five of: at least 8 characters, one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special character.
Turn on two-factor authentication
A second factor means a stolen password is not enough to reach patient data. Some workspaces require it — see Two-factor on patient data.1
Select Enable on the Two-Factor Authentication card
The card carries an On or Off badge so you can see its state at a glance.
2
Scan the QR code
The dialog reads “Scan this QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, 1Password, Authy), then enter the 6-digit code.” If your phone cannot scan it, use the “Can’t scan? Enter this key manually:” text instead.
3
Enter the 6-digit code
Type the code your app is showing right now. A stale code gives “That code didn’t match. Enter the current one from your app.”
4
Save your recovery codes
You reach Save your recovery codes: “Store these somewhere safe. Each works once if you lose your authenticator. They won’t be shown again.”Select Copy codes, put them somewhere that is not the same phone, then select I’ve saved my codes — continue.
- Recovery codes issues a fresh set and copies them to your clipboard, with the reminder “Old codes are now invalid.”
- Turn off removes the authenticator, and asks for a current 6-digit code first.
If a workspace you belong to requires two-factor, Turn off is disabled and reads “Required by one of your clinics — you can replace your authenticator but not turn it off.” You can still swap to a different authenticator app by turning it off and on from a workspace that does not require it — or by asking that workspace’s owner. You also cannot skip enrolment: the only ways past the enrolment screen are to finish it or sign out.
Add a passkey
The Passkeys card, badged Passwordless, offers sign-in with Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello or a security key — no password, and it cannot be phished.1
Select Add
Your device prompts you for its own biometric or PIN. On success you get “Passkey added. You can now sign in with it.”
2
Name it
Select the rename icon, and give it something you will recognise — the dialog suggests “e.g. MacBook Touch ID”. Do this now if you will add passkeys on more than one device.
Get an email when your account is signed in to
Switch on Login Notifications: “Get an email whenever your account is signed in to, with the time, device, and IP address. Off by default.” It is the cheapest way to notice a compromised account, and it is worth turning on even if nothing has gone wrong. Select Update Security Settings to save it.Check it worked
- The Two-Factor Authentication card shows the On badge.
- Sign out and back in: you are asked for a 6-digit code.
- Your passkey appears in the list with the name you gave it, and selecting it on the sign-in screen gets you in without a password.
- With login alerts on, that sign-in produces an email within a minute.
If something goes wrong
That code didn't match. Enter the current one from your app.
That code didn't match. Enter the current one from your app.
Codes expire every 30 seconds. Wait for the next one and enter it immediately. If it still fails, your phone’s clock is probably out of sync — turn on automatic date and time on the device and try again.

Use a recovery code in place of the 6-digit code, then enrol a new authenticator from this page straight away and regenerate your codes. With no codes left, contact support.

A workspace you belong to requires two-factor. That requirement is set by the workspace’s owner, not by you. See Two-factor on patient data.

This browser doesn't support passkeys.
Passkeys need a current browser and an operating system with a biometric or a security key. Update the browser, or use a different device — your password still works everywhere.
I signed in with a passkey and still got asked for a code
I signed in with a passkey and still got asked for a code
That is correct. The workspace requires two factors and the passkey is one. Enter the code from your authenticator app.
