Not really, you’ve done it before because using your bank card at the ATM is a two factor transaction. You need both your bank card (something you have) and your PIN (something you know) to use the ATM. Just having your bank card or knowing your PIN is not enough to use the ATM.

Adding the second factor to passwords protects the security of our network and patient data by guaranteeing that guessing or stealing someone’s name and password are not enough to access patient data by someone outside the hospital environment. It will also allow us to implement new features like Electronic Prescribing on Controlled Substances (EPCS) because we can further verify the identity of prescribing physicians.
