1. Where do I register for MFA?
Enroll your NCID in MFA by using the MyNCID portal page at https://myncid.nc.gov. For detailed instructions, including images of each step, refer to the NCID User Guide for MFA.
-
2. To access the NCID portal, do I use my NCTracks User ID and password?
Yes, the NCID portal is accessed through using the individual’s NCID as the User ID. NCID User IDs should not be shared. Each person working in NCTracks should have their own individual User ID.

3. Do we need to register for MFA for each NPI? Some users may have access to multiple NPIs.
If a user has multiple NPIs associated with their NCID, they retain access to all NPIs under the Status and Management page. Using MFA to access the NCTracks portal does not impact established user roles or assigned NPIs.

If MFA fails, NCTracks will route you back to the login page with an error message. You may then attempt to login again. If you are not able to remedy the issue, you may contact the DIT helpdesk at 919-754-6000 or 800-722-3946 then select Option 1.

6. Do I need my NPI to register for MFA?
