NHS Mail enhanced security live
MFA starts for all NHS Mail users
NHS England have launched Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all NHS Mail users.
For all Providers with existing NHSmail accounts, from mid August users will have received a notification asking them to register an MFA authentication method when logging to their account.
By 2 September, if your MFA has not been enrolled in, access to NHSmail will change meaning:
- Enhanced password – minimum of 20 characters.
- Security measures introduced: not having persistent browsing sessions
- Restrictions on sign in frequency.
- Password expiring every 90 days
