Regaining Access to Your Health Account
⚠️ Cannot Log In / Forgot Password
Cause: Incorrect password or forgotten credentials.
Solution: If you cannot recall your password, use the 'Forgot your password?' link on the JMU eID login page (typically `mylogin.jmu.edu`). If you do not have a secondary authentication method set up for Okta Verify, you will need to contact the JMU IT Help Desk at 540-568-3555 for assistance with resetting your password. We know being locked out is stressful, so reaching out to the IT Help Desk is often the fastest fix.
⚠️ Okta Authentication Issues
Cause: Problems with multi-factor authentication device or setup.
Solution: Ensure your Okta Verify app or physical Yubikey is working correctly. If you encounter persistent issues with multi-factor authentication, contact the JMU IT Help Desk at 540-568-3555 for immediate support. They can help verify your identity and resolve authentication challenges.
⚠️ MyJMUChart Not Displaying Correctly
Cause: Browser cache or compatibility issues.
Solution: Clear your web browser's cache and cookies, then try accessing the portal again. You might also try a different browser or ensure your current browser is updated. This often resolves display or loading problems within the digital portal.
