Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)

Multi-factor authentication is an enhanced security method used to verify a user's identity by requesting multiple credentials.

If you have a linked Tasmanian Department of Health account, you would need to be logged in with your non-Tasmanian Department of Health account in order to manage your MFA settings.

You can set up one or more multi-factor authentication methods. You can also change your preferred method.

See Update your Authentication Method for details.

  1. On the Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) screen, select Set It Up Now.

    The Additional Security Verification screen displays.

  2. Follow the instructions on the screen to set up one of these methods for authenticating your daily logins to TasScript.

    The first time you log in to TasScript, you must select a single authentication method. After this, you can add additional authentication methods, or change your authentication phone number.
