What is HealthSafe ID?
Because your security is our top priority at Optum Bank, we’ve updated our sign-in process to use HealthSafe ID. HealthSafe ID is our leading technology that strengthens website authentication protocols and enhances the security of your account by adding dual-factor authentication so it remains safe and secure.
HealthSafe ID makes signing in easy and more secure
Using a HealthSafe ID gives you access to many of your health benefits with just one username and password. No more multiple passwords for multiple sites. Use it whenever you see the HealthSafe ID name.
HealthSafe ID is used as a single set of sign-in credentials across UnitedHealth Group, which allows Optum Bank to take advantage of the scale of UnitedHealth Group in safeguarding consumer account information.
Optum Bank data is not shared
Please know that your Optum Bank data is never shared with UnitedHealthcare, or any other groups (unless you have UnitedHealthcare medical insurance). In fact, HealthSafe ID does not store any demographic information and the email we collect is strictly for two-factor authentication for security purposes.
Who owns HealthSafe ID?
HealthSafe ID is owned by UnitedHealth Group, which is the parent company of both UnitedHealthcare and Optum®. Optum manages the HealthSafe ID solution within UnitedHealth Group.
