Online verification

1. Once you’ve answered the security questions, you can log in immediately using your email address or customer number and your chosen password.

2. After logging in, you receive a text message code for additional authentication.

Identification by post

1. We send a letter with a security token to your postal address. This can take a few days.

2. To log in, go to our website or open the app.

3. Log in with your email address and a chosen password.

4. Enter the security token from the letter.

5. For additional security, we send you a text message code that you also have to enter.

1. Check that you’ve entered your password, email address and customer number correctly. Check lower case and upper case letters and make sure Caps Lock is deactivated.
2. Enter the right email address if you have several. Alternatively, you can log in using your customer number (can be found on your insurance card or policy document).
3. Reset your password if the error message persists.

Sanitas offers multi-factor authentication to protect against hacker attacks. The two security levels are:

Password + text message code

1. Enter your email address or customer number and your password. 
2. You will then receive a code via text message that you also have to enter. 

Password + Sanitas Portal app 

Web

1. Download the Sanitas Portal app on your smartphone.
2. Activate your device in your profile under “Log-in & security” and allow push notifications. 
3. Enter your email address or customer number and your password. You will then receive a push notification on your smartphone and can log in using your fingerprint. 

Portal app

1. Go to your profile and activate the option Log-in with Face/Touch ID under “Log-in & security”.

Sometimes it takes a little longer for the text message to arrive. If you haven’t received it after a few minutes:

1. Make sure that your password and customer number or email address are correct.
2. Check whether you have network reception and make sure your mobile phone isn’t in flight mode.
3. Check whether the text message has been sent to the correct number by comparing the number on the screen with your phone number.
4. While abroad: Make sure that no cost block is activated that prevents you from receiving text messages.

Still haven’t received a text message code?

You can’t log in with the code?

The code is only valid for 5 minutes. After this time you cannot log in with this code. In this case, you need to request a new text message code. Also check the code you’ve entered for typos. 

You’ve sent the code to the wrong phone number?

If this phone number is yours: Log in once with the old phone number. You can change the phone number in your profile. If you use the app, you can also activate the biometric login in your profile. This will make it easier for you to log in using FaceID or TouchID in future.

If this phone number is not yours: Contact the Sanitas customer service team to register your new phone number.

The Sanitas Portal is available in German, French, Italian and English.

The Sanitas Portal app automatically adopts the general language setting of your smartphone. This means: if you want to change the language of the app, you have to change the language setting of your smartphone. If a language is not supported, the app is set to German by default.

• Change language setting on an Android device: Settings → Language & input → Language
• Change language setting on an iOS device: Settings → General → Language & Region

If you use the Sanitas Portal app to track your sporting activity, you can collect points in the “Health” area to reach various levels - and thus benefit from discounted health offers.

You can see your points and medals under “My achievements”.

In many cases you can deactivate data sharing for specific data, so you don’t have to delete the app entirely. You can deactivate the applicable data sharing under “Profile”. If you then still want to delete the app, you can ask the customer service team to delete your account.
