Create a new account
Creating a Direct2Care account takes a few minutes. Because Direct2Care is a healthcare platform, you'll be asked to verify your contact information and secure your account before you can get care for the first time.
Note: If your employer provides Direct2Care as a benefit, check your email for a welcome message before creating a new account. See [Activating your account] for more.
Step 1 - Create your account
- Open the Direct2Care app. At the bottom of the welcome screen, tap Create an account here.
- Enter your email address and phone number.
- Enter your first, middle, and last name.
- Enter your home address.
- Enter your date of birth and sex.
- Review and agree to the Terms & Conditions.
Step 2 - Verify your email
A temporary password will be sent to the email address you provided. Open the email and use that password to confirm your address and continue setup.
- Check your email for a message from Direct2Care containing your temporary password.
- Return to the app and log in using your email address and the temporary password.
- You'll be prompted to create a permanent password. Enter and confirm it, then tap Continue.
Tip: Can't find the email? Check your spam or junk folder. Make sure you entered your email address correctly in step 2.
Step 3 - Secure your account
- You'll be asked whether you'd like to enable biometric login — Face ID, Touch ID, or the equivalent on your device. Tap Yes to enable it, or Maybe Later to skip this for now.
- An account created confirmation screen will appear.
Step 4 - Log in
Because your password was just updated, you'll complete your first login to activate your session.
- Tap Log In and enter your email address and new password.
- You'll be asked to set up two-factor authentication (2FA). Choose to receive your verification code by email or text message.
- Enter the code you receive, then tap Verify.
- You'll land on the home screen. Your account is ready to use.
Note: On future logins, if you've enabled biometric login you'll go straight to the home screen. If you log in with your email and password, you'll complete a quick 2FA verification each time.
