# Setting a Multi-Factor Authentication or PIN

## When you first log in you should update your Personal Settings if you wish to use a Multi-Factor Authentication or PIN

#### **Personal Settings**

If this is the first time you have accessed StrongCare you should configure your personal settings.

1. Navigate to and click on the **Settings** tab on the toolbar at the top of the page
2. On the left of the settings page, scroll down to and click on **Personal Settings**

#### **About MFA**

Multi-Factor Authentication provides extra security. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a multi-step account login process that requires users to enter more information than just a password.  For example, at StrongRoom, when using a Multi-Factor Authentication you may select an option along with your password that will require you to enter a code sent either to your mobile phone or email.

- Click on **Multi-Factor Authentication**

To activate Multi-Factor Authentication move the **on** button for either or both Multi-Factor authentication methods, then enter your mobile phone number and/or email address.

- Then click **Submit**

#### **PIN**

A PIN will allow you to quickly sign off on administrations or prescriptions. A PIN may also be used when using the Drug Register.

Click on **Account Settings** to reset your Password and apply (or reset) a Personal Identification Number (PIN).

- Enter a **PIN code** in the first field (min 4 characters)
- Enter your **Password** in the second field
- Click the **Save PIN button** 
    - You can now use this PIN when signing off on Administrations or Prescriptions
