Instead of your password, you can sign in with a 6-digit code sent to your email. It's handy if you've forgotten your password, or if password sign-in is paused after too many wrong attempts.
Before you start
- Your account must already be registered. If it isn't, follow Register your account first.
- Access to your Carelon email, or to your personal email if one is on file.
Steps
- Go to the sign-in page, enter your domain ID and select Next.
- On the password screen, select Email me a one-time code.
- If you have both a Carelon and a personal email on file, you'll see Where should we send your code? Choose Carelon email or Personal email, then select Send code. Addresses are partly hidden, for example
ma•••••@carelon.com. Otherwise the code goes straight to your Carelon email. - Open the email from CGS One App. The code is in the subject line, so you may see it in your phone's notification without opening the email.
- On Check your email, type the 6 digits. You're signed in as soon as all six are entered, or you can select Verify.
Codes are short-lived
A code works once and expires after 5 minutes. The screen shows a countdown. Requesting a new code cancels the previous one, so always use the code from the most recent email.
Good to know
- Resend code becomes available 60 seconds after a code is sent. You can request up to 5 codes an hour.
- Send to a different email appears when you have both emails on file.
- Use password instead takes you back to the password screen.
- If you send a code to your personal email, your Carelon email is notified too, so a code sent somewhere unexpected doesn't go unnoticed.
If something goes wrong
- No email? Check your spam or junk folder, then select Resend code.
- That code isn't right. Check you're using the code from the most recent email. The message tells you how many attempts are left.
- Too many incorrect attempts. Request a new code. or This code has expired. Request a new code. Select Resend code.
- You've requested too many codes. Wait for the time shown, or sign in with your password.
- We couldn't find an email address to send a code to. Sign in with your password, or contact your HR partner to have your email address added.
- Got a code you didn't ask for? Someone may know your domain ID. No one can sign in without the code, so you can ignore the email, but consider resetting your password.
