Cyber-attacks are rising at an alarming rate. According to the Identity Theft Resource Center's 2023 Annual Data Breach Report, a 72% increase in data breaches between 2021 and 2023 has resulted in over 353 million victims. With October being National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, this statistic is a helpful reminder about internet security.
To ensure your patient data remains safe and secure at every touchpoint, starting this January, Parkview MyChart® is adding an extra layer of protection for all account users.
Two-step verification
Also known as two-factor or multi-factor authentication, MyChart two-step verification is an extra "lock" for your account. After you enter your password, MyChart will text or email you a unique code. This code, sent only to you, must be entered before you can finish logging in.
It's easy and takes only a few minutes! Here's how it works:
With Parkview MyChart Two-Step Verification, you'll only be asked to enter a code once every 30 days. It’s a small step for big peace of mind! Use this link to turn on two-step verification today.
