Multi-factor Authentication
As an additional layer of security, MEDENT offers a free, two-step verification when logging into MEDENT and MEDENT Mobile. If this is enabled, users will need to enter a code generated on their mobile device after entering their user name and password. Without this code, they will not be able to log into MEDENT.

Users can enable this, or an administrator can enforce it for some or all users.

MEDENT uses a time-based one-time password (TOTP), so users are not required to use a specific mobile app. Popular apps that support this form of two-step verification are Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and Authy.

Use Cases for Multi-factor Authentication

Secure Login: If set up and enabled, upon logging into MEDENT or MEDENT Mobile, users are prompted to enter a code generated by an authentication app that uses a time-based one-time password (TOTP) such as Google Authenticator or Authy.

Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances (EPCS): As required by the DEA and approved by a third-party auditor, MEDENT uses two-factor authentication to sign controlled substance prescriptions before it transmits controlled substances electronically. Prescribers have the option to use a USB hardware token or mobile app as one of the factors. Both options meet the criteria of FIPS 140–2 Security Level 1.

Information Handling Practices
MEDENT does not store the information transmitted for Carequality transactions.
