Two-step verification is coming to the physician portal

Latest News Archive | Posted September 28, 2020
In an effort to enhance security of the physician portal, CPSA will soon introduce a two-step verification system when logging in.

In addition to providing your registration number and password, you’ll soon be required to answer a security question. The two-step verification is not yet live, but is expected to be rolled out in the coming weeks. Once two-step verification is activated, you will be asked to create three security questions upon your first log in to the portal from a list of pre-written questions.

Comments for this post are now closed. If you would like to share your feedback on this topic, please email support@cpsa.ca.
