Solution: On the login screen, click "Forgot Login Information?" then choose "Forgot Username?" or "Forgot Password?". For username recovery, you'll need your full name and date of birth. For password resets, you'll need your username, date of birth, and ZIP code. If issues persist, contact MyJeffersonHealth Support at 1-215-503-5700.
⚠️ Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Issues

⚠️ Technical Issues During Video Visits
Cause: Connection problems or difficulty starting a virtual appointment.
Solution: Ensure you have a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data) and allow camera and microphone access. If issues arise, try refreshing your browser. Both you and your provider can leave the visit by pressing the red hang-up button and rejoining. Having a backup device ready is always recommended.

Ensuring the Privacy of Your Health Records
- 🔒 Always use strong, unique passwords for your MyJeffersonHealth account.
- 🔒 Enable and complete Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for an added layer of secure access to your patient data.
- 🔒 Be cautious of phishing attempts: MyChart will never ask for your password or verification codes via phone, text, or email. Only enter them on the official MyJeffersonHealth website or app.
- 🔒 Avoid clicking suspicious links in emails or text messages claiming to be from MyChart; always type the official URL directly into your browser.
- 🔒 Be wary of messages offering free gifts or asking for payment via gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency, as these are signs of scams.
