Coming soon: UMR New Security Enhancement for your computer-driven health account(s)
As part of our ongoing commitment to your security, UMR is adding multi-factor authentication (MFA) to your health reimbursement account (HRA) accounts, beginning Tuesday, October 3.
You will be prompted to select and answer 5 new security questions on your next login (either through the UMR accounts link on our portal or the Consumer Accounts with UMR mobile app.)
These 5 security questions are separate from any security questions associated with your HealthSafe ID login for umr.com’s username and password.
Once your MFA has been established, you will only need to verify your identity with MFA on each subsequent mobile app login.
In addition to the newly established security questions, you can also verify your identity with a verification code sent via email or text message,
if you have an email address or mobile phone number on file. You can add or update an email address or mobile phone number through your profile
page in the Consumer Accounts application.
The following high-risk transactions will trigger an MFA prompt:
- Login with mobile app only
- Add/update email address in portal only
- Add/update mobile phone number in portal only
- Changing a password
- HSA distribution
- Reporting a debit card lost or stolen
- Requesting a new debit card
If you are using the Consumer Accounts with UMR mobile app, the “Forgot password” link now requires your username and an email address on file to set up a new password.
You can add an email address and find your mobile app username through the profile page in the Consumer Accounts application or by emailing or calling customer service.
If you need assistance logging in after these changes go live, please contact umr-fsa@umr.com or call the number in your welcome packet or on your ID card.
