Technical Questions
How is MyCityofHope secure?
We take great care to ensure your health information is kept private and secure. Access to information is controlled through secure activation codes, personal user names and passwords. Each person controls his or her password, and the account cannot be accessed without that password. Unlike conventional email, all MyCityofHope messaging is done while you are securely logged on to our website.
What is Two-Step Verification?
Two-Step Verification (also known as two-factor authentication) is an extra layer of protection used to ensure the security of your patient portal account. City of Hope’s goal is to make sure your health information is safe and secure.
- When you have turned on this feature, next time you log in, you will be required to enter a one-time use security code to verify your identity.
- This is an optional feature and you will need to turn it on for the added layer of security.
- You will also have the option to skip receiving the code after you have signed-on successfully via Two-Step Verification at least once after you set up the Two-Step Verification.
