Two-Factor Authentication
Ensures Security
| |
Bon Secours Virginia Open Enrollment runs July 11-29. Are you ready?
Because health care is facing an increase in security threats and hacking attempts, Bon Secours has implemented two-factor authentication. If you want to access employee information from home you must have this authentication in place. Each time you access IS resources while on VPN (Virtual Private Network) or when you aren't on the Bon Secours network, you will need an additional six-digit code when you sign in.
So if you haven't already got your two-factor authentication in place, there are two ways to set up this authentication. For details about self-enrollment, click here and follow the steps. If you need help setting up two-factor authentication, you can call the Help Desk staff at EISSC at 1-866-809-9259, or in person on these dates: | June 21: | St. Mary's | 6 a.m. --- 3 p.m. | | June 22: | St. Mary's | 8 a.m. --- 5 p.m. | | June 23: | St. Mary's | Noon --- 9 p.m. | | July 12: | DePaul and Maryview | 6 a.m. --- 3 p.m. | | July 13: | DePaul and Maryview | 8 a.m. --- 5 p.m. | | July 14: | DePaul and Maryview | Noon --- 9 p.m. | | July 19: | Mary Immaculate and Harbour View | 6 a.m. --- 3 p.m. | | July 20: | Mary Immaculate and Harbour View | 8 a.m. --- 5 p.m. | | July 21: | Mary Immaculate and Harbour View | Noon --- 9 p.m. |
