Enhanced Login Security (Password-Based Authentication)

· 2 min read

We are pleased to announce the rollout of enhanced login security for OmegaAI and Blume. This update replaces the earlier PIN-based system for new users and introduces a more robust, HITRUST-compliant password authentication process. These improvements strengthen account protection and ensure a safer experience across both platforms.

Key Updates

Secure Password-Based Sign-Up for New Users

New users are now required to create an alphanumeric password during sign-up. The PIN field has been fully replaced with a password field that meets HITRUST complexity standards.

Password Requirements (HITRUST-Aligned)

Passwords must:

  • Be at least 8 characters long
  • Include uppercase and lowercase letters
  • Include at least one number or special character

A real-time strength indicator guides users toward creating secure passwords.

Updated Sign-In Experience

  • New users sign in using their email and password.
  • Existing users may continue using their current 6-digit PIN for now.
  • Users who upgrade to a password will use it for all future logins.

Improved Forgot / Reset Password Flow

The previous PIN reset flow has been replaced with a secure password reset process, including email verification and password strength validation.

Optional Upgrade Path for Existing Users

Existing users who currently log in with a PIN can easily switch to the new password-based authentication:

  • Blume: Enter your registered email ID → tap Forgot Password
  • OmegaAI: Enter your registered email ID → select Forgot Password

This will start the secure password setup process, allowing users to create a HITRUST-compliant password.
