Password Tips
Use a unique password for PatientNotes. Consider using a password manager to generate and store strong passwords.

Two-Factor Authentication

Add an extra layer of security to your account with two-factor authentication (2FA).

How 2FA Works

After entering your password, you'll need to enter a code from your phone. This prevents unauthorized access even if someone knows your password.

Enabling Two-Factor Authentication

  1. Go to Settings β†’ Security
  2. Find "Two-Factor Authentication"
  3. Click "Enable"
  4. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.)
  5. Enter the 6-digit code to verify
  6. Save your backup codes in a secure location

Backup Codes

When you enable 2FA, you receive backup codes. These codes can be used to log in if you lose access to your authenticator app.

Save Your Backup Codes
Store your backup codes in a safe place. You'll need them if you lose your phone or can't access your authenticator app.

Disabling Two-Factor Authentication

  1. Go to Settings β†’ Security
  2. Click "Disable" next to 2FA
  3. Enter your password to confirm
  4. Enter a 2FA code or backup code
