Logging in to the Medical Marijuana Use Registry now takes one more step. As of September 28, 2026, the Florida Department of Health’s Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU) has added multifactor authentication to the Registry, to comply with Rule 60GG-2, Florida Administrative Code.
Your username and password stay exactly the same. After you enter them, the Registry asks for a numeric confirmation code. Setting this up takes about five to ten minutes, and you only do it once.
The only two options are an emailed code or a code from an authenticator app on your phone. If you were expecting an SMS, it is not coming.
Which method should you pick?
You only need one. Pick whichever you will actually have to hand when you log in.
Simplest option, and nothing to install. The code goes to the email address on your Registry profile, so that address needs to be current and one you can open.
A free app on your phone generates the code. It works even if your email is down, but setting it up needs two devices for a moment.
Option 1: get your code by email
Step 1
Check that the email address on your Registry profile is current, and that you can open that inbox. Your code is sent there.
Step 2
Go to the Registry and sign in with your usual username and password. When it asks, choose email as your method.
Step 3
Open the email, find the numeric code, and type it into the Registry. That is it, you are in.
Every time you sign in from then on, keep that inbox open. A new code is sent each time.
Option 2: use an authenticator app
Step 1
Install a free authenticator app on your phone. Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator and 2FAS all work. Open it once so it is ready.
Step 2
On a computer or tablet, sign in to the Registry with your username and password, and choose the authenticator app option. A QR code appears on the screen.
Step 3
Open the app on your phone and scan that QR code.
Step 4
The app shows a numeric code. Type it into the Registry to finish. From now on, sign in with your username and password, then whatever code the app is showing at that moment.
A phone cannot photograph a QR code shown on its own screen. Display the code on a computer or tablet, and scan it with the phone that has the app. This is where most people get stuck.
If you have not set this up yet
Nothing is lost. The change is already live, so you will simply be asked to choose a method the next time you sign in. Do it now, while you are not in a hurry, rather than on the day your certification needs renewing.
If you are due to renew soon, our patient renewal guide walks through the rest of the process.
Why the state is doing this
The Registry holds your medical records, your certification and your dispensing history. A password on its own is a single point of failure: if somebody gets hold of it, they are in. With a second step, a stolen password is not enough on its own.
