The Epic Authenticator app provides two-factor authentication for your Epic electronic health record system. Two-factor authentication makes your Epic credentials more secure by requiring another step to verify that it's you when you log in. Periodically when logging into Epic you'll receive a notification on your phone. Tap the notification to indicate that it's you and finish logging in. In case you miss the notification, you can also log in by typing in a temporary passcode displayed in the Epic Authenticator app. Your organization must set up Epic two-factor authentication before you can use the app, and you'll need to enroll your Epic Authenticator device in Epic. To get started, refer to the directions provided by your organization, or contact your organization's help desk.

Test whether an app supports iOS's Password AutoFill Our customers frequently test new apps and often their first question to Imprivata is whether an app's authentication workflows will work with our respective solutions. In most cases, Imprivata does not have the required 3rd party environments to determine this capability ourselves and making a determination of support can be cumbersome and time consuming. AutoFill Discovery allows anyone, including our customers, partners, and internal stakeholders to quickly test an app’s compatibility with Apple’s Password AutoFill framework, taking out the guess work and getting customers the answers they need quicker than ever. Determine the end user experience for Password AutoFill When using Password AutoFill on iOS an end user may have to tap the screen either once or twice depending on a 3rd party app vendor’s implementation of their application. AutoFill discovery will determine the end user experience and provide links to Apple documentation for how vendors can make the experience even better for end users if not supported or not optimal. Share your results with us! Following the successful launch of our compatibility matrix for MDA, we encourage everyone testing internally, with partners, or with customers to send a screenshot of your outcomes to mobile@imprivata.com. With your help we hope to launch GroundControl’s support for iOS Password AutoFill with a comparable matrix highlighting all of the applications that support AutoFill.
