To enhance security, myHSA will be implementing the use of an Authenticator app for all users. Adjudicators and Advisors will be the first to adopt this new login method, as they have access to sensitive claim information. Below are the details on how this will work:
Setting Up the Authenticator App
Initial Setup: After you have completed your regular Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) login on myhsaaccess.com , you will be taken to a new screen. Here, you will see a QR code.
2. Scan the QR Code: Use the authenticator app of your choice (such as Authy, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, etc.) to scan the QR code.
3. Verification: After scanning the QR code, you’ll need to enter the code generated by your authenticator app into the system.
4. Confirm Setup: Click on the “Verify MFA Setup” button. Once verified, you will see a confirmation screen indicating that the setup was successful.
Using the Authenticator for Future Logins
Frequency: You will need to use the authenticator app's code every time MFA is required. Typically, this will happen:
Every 2 weeks if you are using the same device.
Every time you switch to a new device.
Testing Your Setup: If you want to confirm that everything is set up correctly, you can open a private browser window or use a different browser and log in. You should be prompted to enter the code from your authenticator app, similar to the existing phone/email verification screen.
Please note that after setting up the Authenticator, the previous email and phone MFA options will no longer be available. This new process aims to strengthen our already robust security, and protect users from having their information accessed by anyone else but themselves.
