When you know your password and you want to change it, you can use the Password tab on the Update User Profile page to change it.

Email is used only for password recovery and is not considered an MFA factor.
If you're an EPCS user, continue with the instructions below.
Otherwise, skip to the Everyone Else section section, as applicable.
EPCS Users
-
You must use your EPCS factor to create a new password. Enter your security code and create a new password.

If you no longer have access to your EPCS device, your Identity Verification will need to be revoked in order to allow you the ability to reset your password with your other MFA Factor.
-
Your Trusted Individual (TI) will need to complete a new Identity Verification for you and you will need to add a new EPCS device in order to regain EPCS access.

Once the verification is successful, you enter your new password.

Two-factor authentication is the use of two separate factors — something you know and something you have — to authenticate your identity to the application. In athenaClinicals, we use your athenaOne password as something you know and your VIP Access credential, stored on your mobile device, as something you have.
The DEA requires the use of two-factor authentication to reduce the risk of misuse of a prescriber's credentials from both internal and external threats. Even if a prescriber's first factor, the athenaOne password, is compromised, his or her credentials cannot be abused for fraudulent prescriptions in the prescriber's name because the prescriber is in control of the physical token.
Note: This procedure requires the EPCS Enrollment feature.
- Display the Update User Profile page: On the Main Menu, click Settings
> User Profile. - Click the Credentials tab.
- Click Add new.
- Click Download and install VIP Access from Symantec.
- Follow the Symantec instructions to install a token to your desktop or mobile device.
- Email address — Enter your email address.
- Credential ID — Enter the credential ID on your token.
Note: Make sure to enter the credential ID without spaces.
- Nickname — Enter a nickname for your token (optional).
This nickname is useful if you have multiple tokens. - Security code — Enter the security code on your token.
