What is two-step authentication?

Two-step authentication is a security process that provides additional protection when signing into your digital account. Users will be asked to set up two-step authentication once. Afterward, you will be asked to complete two-step authentication when you sign in for the first time and periodically after that to verify your identity.

Is two-step authentication required?

Yes. Security and protection are extremely important to all of us, and two-step authentication adds a layer of security that can keep protected health information (PHI) secure.

How does two-step authentication work?

You will sign in as you normally do, then set up how you would like to be contacted to complete the two-step authentication process (by phone or text message).

If you select text message, you will receive a message containing a security code.* Once you receive the text message, you should enter it on the webpage. Afterward, you will be able to access your digital account.

If you select phone, you should answer the incoming phone call and listen to the prompts. You must follow the prompts to access your digital account.

Whatever phone number you use as your two-step authentication account, you will need to be able to whenever you attempt to access the ePortal.

Does the two-step authentication text message code expire?

Yes. You have only 3 minutes to enter your security code. If your code expires, you must tap or click the Send a new code link.

What if I didn't receive a text message containing my security code?

If you didn’t receive a text message, tap or click the Send a new code link. You can also try to complete the two-step authentication process by phone.

If you have problems using both methods, please contact the ePortal Help Desk.

What if I didn't receive a phone call with my security code?

If you didn’t receive a phone call, missed the phone call, or accidentally rejected the call, you can tap or click the Call Me button. If you still don’t receive a call after clicking the link, select text message as the two-step authentication method. You can also contact the ePortal Help Desk.

What if my phone number changes?

If you no longer have access to the phone number listed as your two-step authentication contact number, you must reset your phone number by contacting the ePortal Help Desk.

How will my phone number be used?

Your phone number will be used only for the two-step authentication process. By providing your phone number, you are not consenting to receive text messages from CCBH. Please note that providing your phone number here will not update this information on your ePortal account if your number has changed. Additional information about our terms and conditions is available here.

What should I do if I have trouble with the two-step authentication process?

If you are not able to complete the two-step authentication process, please contact the ePortal Help Desk.

What if I receive a security code I did not request?

If you received a security code via text or a phone call and you didn’t request it, there is a possibility that there has been an attempt to compromise your account. In this case, we recommend accessing your digital account and resetting your password.
