Brief Overview
Clinic to Cloud’s built-in Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), sometimes referred to as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), provides an additional level of security to the Clinic to Cloud login process.
Safeguarding your account and your patients’ health records is our highest priority. Two-Factor Authentication requires users to enter a mobile-generated authentication code in addition to their password when logging in to Clinic to Cloud.
This additional layer of security helps protect your account and your patients’ sensitive health information from unauthorised access.
The Short Version
- Turn on Two-Factor Authentication
- Download the Google Authenticator App
- Scan the barcode
- Enter your Auth Code
- Use this app as required when logging in to Clinic to Cloud
- If you change phones, reset your Auth Code from Settings > Users > Reset
Instructions
1. As a User with Practice Admin access go to Settings > Practice details > General
2. Tick Enable Two-Factor Authentication
3. You will then have the ability to select how often the user will need to use the mobile-generated code when logging in.
Please note: If this is activated, anyone currently logged in to your practice will be logged out and forced to input their authentication code.
4. When a user first logs in after the authenticator is turned on will need to follow the below instructions:
- Install the Google Authenticator app on your phone
- Open the app, tap Begin Set Up
- Choose to Scan Barcode and then scan the barcode which will show on the login screen
- Once the barcode is scanned, a code will show that will need to be entered in the Auth Code field.
Note: This is for users in your practice, not patients.
5. Next time enter your password when logging into Clinic to Cloud, you will need to open your Google Authenticator app, and enter the code into the Enter Auth Code field.
6. If a user in your practice has changed phones or needs to receive a new code for any reason, a Practice Admin user will need to follow the below steps to reset the code:
- Go to Settings > Users
- Click on the Reset Two-Factor Auth option
- When this user next logs in they will need to go through the steps above to add the app, and scan the new barcode.
