ACR Login and Multifactor Authentication

What is ACR Login?

As part of the ACR’s ongoing commitment to enhancing our systems and protecting NRDR participant data, the National Radiology Data Registry (NRDR) instituted a single sign-on (SSO) technology on December 1, 2020.  

 

The login upgrade, called ACR Login, employs SSO to enable users to enter their login credentials one time on a single page to access all their ACR Login applications. 

 

Certain ACR Login applications, such as NRDR, now employ Multifactor Authentication (MFA). MFA requires users to enter an additional piece of information when logging in for enhanced data security, making it harder for user accounts to become compromised.

ACR Login Set up and NRDR Profile Activation

You will receive an email from nrdr@acr.org (Subject line: ACR National Radiology Data Registry - User Invitation) inviting you to set up your ACR Login account, activate your NRDR user account and user profile -- or do both. 

Select a link below to follow the instructions depending upon whether:

• You are new to NRDR and have neither an ACR Login Account nor a prior NRDR User Profile

• You have been assigned a new User Profile and have an ACR Login Account

• You had an NRDR account prior to Dec. 2020 and have not set up ACR Login

Participants with a Prior NRDR Account 

 

If you were an NRDR participant prior to December 2020, you will need to place a ticket to the NRDR help desk to have an ACR Login activation email resent.

1. Activate your ACR Login

Within 30 days of receiving your ACR Login activation email, you must click the Activate your ACR Login button to create a new password for your new ACR Login account and access the password setup page at:   https://sso.acr.org/user/welcome.

The ACR Login password must include: 

• At least 10 characters AND one or more:

  • Lowercase letters

  • Uppercase letters

  • Numbers

Upon creating your password, click the Create My Account button to access the ACR Login dashboard at: https://sso.acr.org.

See the screenshot of this page below that shows the ACR applications currently using ACR Login.

2. Enroll in Multifactor Authentication (MFA)

 

The first time NRDR participants access the NRDR portal using their new ACR Login account, they are prompted to enroll in the Okta multifactor authentication (MFA). 

 

3. Log in to the NRDR Portal

 

With ACR Login, participants have two ways to access the NRDR portal and their other ACR applications: 

• Launch the application from the ACR Login dashboard (see screenshot below).

  • Click the NRDR icon
