Frequently Asked Questions: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) with TrustedCare

Q: Why are you enabling MFA for TrustedCare?

A: Using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enhances your organization's security by requiring additional factors to verify a user. Because usernames and passwords have proven to be vulnerable to attack, Entrust is proactively enabling MFA on our portals to ensure a higher degree of security for your business and personal data.

Q: What delivery methods can I choose other than email for OTP?

A: Soft Token and SMS are optional delivery methods; you can update your settings by following these steps:
1. Log in at this link and select the Authenticator tab.


2. Click the “ Add ” link  at the top left side to add the new authenticator and delivery methods.

Note : SMS is NOT recommended for receiving One-Time Passwords. Receiving the OTP through email or using Soft Token authentication are best practices.

Q: What happens if I do not receive the One-Time Password (OTP) email?

A: First, add the contact [email protected] to your Safe Sender list.

  • Check your Junk and SPAM folders to make sure the email did not end up there.
  • If you still cannot find the email, contact [email protected] for help.

Q: Can I opt out of using MFA?

A: No; you are not able to opt out. Multi-Factor Authentication is now required to securely access the TrustedCare portal.

Q: Will I need to add the OTP every time I log in?

A: Yes; for each browser session, you are required to log in with your One-Time Password. But during that browser session, you can move among Entrust platforms without having to re-enter an OTP.

Q: Can we share our login credentials for TrustedCare?

A: No, all users must have their own account. There is no cost associated with each TrustedCare user account, so you can add as many users you need within your organization.

Q: I can log in to one platform, but when I try to go to another, I get an error. Why?
