Why does Health& ask for my email address​?

When you create a Health& account we need you to provide an email address to sign in to your account. The email address you provide is our primary mode of communication with you. We also need an email address so we can send your Health& password to you if you ever need to recover it.

 

What are the password requirements for my Health& account?

Your Health& password must:
At least 1 UPPER case character (A-Z)
At least 1 LOWER case character (a-z)
At least 1 SPECIAL character (!, $, #, @)
At least 1 NUMBER character (0-9)
Must be at least 8 characters

We recommend you use a strong password that is easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess. If you forget your password select "Forgot password?" on the Health& sign in page to create a new one.

 

I forgot my Health& password, what should I do?

If you have forgotten your password, follow these steps:
1. Select "Forgot password?" on the Health& sign in page
2. Enter your email address
3. Health& will send you an email to reset your password 
4. Click the "Reset password" button in the email 
5. Create and confirm a new password 

If your account is suspended after 5 incorrect login attempts, you will need to wait 5 minutes for the suspension to lift before trying again.

 

What should I do if my account is suspended?

If your account is suspended, we will tell you with a message on the sign in page after you try to sign in. This can happen due to unsuccessful attempts to enter your password. If your Health& account becomes suspended, you will need to wait 5 minutes before trying again. This is done to protect your account from unauthorised use and to keep your information safe.

 

What should I do if my email address is not recognised by Health&?

Check your spelling and check that the email address you are using is current for your Health& account. If Health& still doesn't recognise the email address, please contact our customer support team: support@healthand.com.

 

How do I opt out of Health& emails?

Preventive health management and related reminders are Health&'s core offering. Unsubscribing from these emails would drastically limit our ability to keep you up-to-date on our medically-verified preventive assessments and upcoming health reminders. However, if you choose to opt out from your and your family's health reminders you can do so by updating notification preferences on the primary user's Account Settings page. Health& also sends health information and wellness emails that can be unsubscribed.  

 

What should I do if I cannot save my reports?

Please make sure your user account has permission to save files on your device. Once you have confirmed that you have permissions to save the file in your desired location, press the download button and save the report. 

 

Why don't my reports print?

To print your report please download the report and save it on your device, the file will be saved by default in pdf (portable document format). Once the report is downloaded, open the file and print it.
