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.

MI.Portage holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.5.

Written reviews complicate that: 0% of MI.Portage'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.
MI.Portage ships an update every 4 months, Epic Authenticator every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
