# Portal Sign In

> Patient portal login page for Encore OS, providing email and password authentication for portal users.

Patient portal sign-in screen at `/portal/login` where existing portal users authenticate with email and password to access their health information.

## Overview

The Portal Sign In page is the authentication entry point for the patient portal. It presents an email/address and password form. On success the user is redirected to `/portal/dashboard`. The page is accessible without an existing session (public route, no authentication guard) and is WCAG 2.1 AA compliant per inline documentation.

## Who it's for

Access follows your organization's role and module configuration. ## Before you start

* You must have a registered portal account. If you do not have one, register at `/portal/register`.
* Your email address must be verified before sign-in will succeed.

## Steps

1. Navigate to `/portal/login`.
2. Enter your registered email address.
3. Enter your password.
4. Click **Sign In**.
5. If MFA is enabled on your account, complete the second-factor challenge when prompted.

## Key concepts

**Show/hide password toggle** — The sign-in form includes a control to reveal or hide the password field.

**Error sanitization** — Error messages shown on failed sign-in are sanitized; internal details are never exposed.
