Do you think the portals provide a significant enhancement to privacy? Banks and health professionals seem to have adopted them wholesale. I hope it provides some measure of security at both ends of our messages.
Gotta laugh...even after spending my entire career as a software engineer, I am often flummoxed by these portals. No humans to talk to, save's $$$???, but raises my BP every time. I will get to work on the portal manager..
Try a password manager like Dashlane or 1 Password. I made a spreadsheet with all my passwords on and can’t believe how large it is. Every time I see a new doctor, I need a password to access my account plus My Erickson to see my retirement community info. So many times I have used what I thought was my password and it is not accepted so I have to come up with a new one. Also, some sites have now added an extra layer of security which means more headaches. I feel your pain.
I have 7 medical portals alone and I am exhausted trying to secure the info they have to offer. I think I’ll just take a nap and hope they call me with an appointment!

Thanks Paul, us older folks would appreciate it.
I use Lastpass APP to retain all my portals, user names, and passwords. And, It's free.
Feel it too
All us older folks feel your pain. Too much to even remember where we wrote it down.
Hah
And that means?
