Resolving Access Challenges with MyChart
⚠️ Cannot Register / Haven't Received PIN
Cause: You haven't received a registration PIN or are having issues with it.
Solution: If you provided your email at an Osler appointment and didn't receive a PIN, or if you don't have an upcoming appointment, contact William Osler Health System directly at 905-494-2120 ext. 58864. For technical issues with a received PIN, email [email protected] or call 416-494-2120 ext. 50949.
⚠️ Forgot Username or Password
Cause: You cannot recall your login credentials for your MyChart account.
Solution: If you forgot your login details, you can usually follow the 'Forgot Username' or 'Forgot Password' links on the MyChart login page. If you need to request a new activation code because you cannot find it or it expired, click 'sign up now' on the login page, then select 'no activation code', fill in the form, and submit. Alternatively, call MyChart technical support at 416-494-2120 ext. 50949.
⚠️ Incorrect Health Information in MyChart
Cause: Details in your digital record do not accurately reflect your medical history.
Solution: Your MyChart information is pulled directly from your official health record. To correct any inaccuracies, speak with your healthcare team during your next visit to a William Osler Health System facility. They can update your official record, which will then reflect in your MyChart portal.
⚠️ Issues with Two-Step Verification or Activation Codes
Cause: Your verification code isn't arriving, or your activation code has expired.
Solution: If you didn't receive a two-step verification code, first check your email's spam or junk folders. If it's not there, try the 'resend code' option, or choose to receive it via text. If problems persist, or if your activation code expired (they are valid for 30 days), contact MyChart technical support at [email protected] or 416-494-2120 ext. 50949.
Ensuring the Privacy of Your Health Information
