Read full description

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Heart Walk holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Heart Walk has 4.9K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Heart Walk's written reviews are positive against 27% of Epic Authenticator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Heart Walk ships an update every 2 months, Epic Authenticator every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
