The Compassion of a Cross & the Security of a Shield

Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi (BCBSMS) is committed to protecting our Members' personal health information.

That's why we are implementing 2-Factor Authentication (2FA). 2FA adds an additional layer of security to your myBlue account and further decreases the likelihood of an attacker gaining access to your personal information. It requires you to provide something you know (username and password) as well as something you have (a secure code sent to you via email, text or phone). This will help to continue to ensure your most personal information stays safe and secure.

To prepare, make sure your email and cell phone number are up-to-date in your myBlue account so you don't run into delays or issues later!

“We are continuously implementing security enhancements to protect our Members’ information. 2FA provides an additional protection against compromised passwords and automated attacks that gives our Members more control over securing their personal data.”

– Michael Parker, Vice President, Information Security.


Here's what to expect.

If you use fingerprint or facial recognition on your myBlue mobile app, this is considered 2FA and you will not notice any changes! If not, or logging in from a desktop, upon logging in to your myBlue account, you will see a message like this:

After receiving your code via your preferred method, you will enter and submit your verification code. Successful verification takes you to your myBlue experience. You can also opt to save your personal device for future authentication in order to bypass 2FA for the next 90-days.
