MyChart two-step verification

Starting April 12, 2025, you need to use two-step verification to sign in to MyChart

What is MyChart two-step verification?

Two-step verification, also known as two-factor authentication, adds security to your MyChart account. It keeps your information safer by requiring a second step to sign in. 

  • After entering your MyChart username and password, you will enter a one-time code to complete the sign in process.
