Enabling Two-factor authentication (2FA) is one of the most effective measures to combat credential theft. It requires a second piece of information beyond username and password. This can be a knowledge factor (something the user knows e.g. a PIN), a possession factor (something the user has e.g. a security token, a mobile device or smartphone app) or a biometric factor (e.g. fingerprints, facial and voice recognition). By providing a second layer of authentication, 2FA increases the security of data to a much greater extend. If, for instance, a password is compromised, it offers another layer of protection to block unauthorized access.
The European Commission has set the use of 2FA, particularly EU Login 2FA, mandatory for its IT systems handling Sensitive Non-Classified (SNC) information and strongly recommended for its IT systems handling ‘Publicly available’ and ‘Commission use’ information.
Using 2FA ensures additional data security and reduces fraudulent activities. This way, you can access your account from any system or environment without any risk to your personal and sensitive data.
First, on your desktop device, you need to add a mobile device to your EU login account. Open a browser on your PC and follow this link.
You will be prompted to authenticate. Then click on "Add a mobile device" in the browser on your PC. Once you have followed the steps through, a QR code will be generated. You can find further details on page 12 of the user guide.
Note that you need to read the QR code with the EU login app, not with your regular QR code reader.
No, if you are already using eID to sign in to Europass, you can continue logging in as you have previously. You do not need to activate two factor authentication separately.
To link your eID (electronic ID) to your EU Login account:
This option can link your national electronic identity card to your EU Login account.
Then, complete the process according to the steps explained in the instructions document.
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is a document prepared by the Council of Europe to describe the results of foreign language learners. The Framework provides a method of learning, teaching and assessment applicable to all European languages, with six reference levels used across the continent as a scale of linguistic competence. To make it easier for users to self-assess their language skills, the Europass profile uses the common European Framework of Reference for Languages self-assessment table.
Europass Mobility can help you to showcase skills acquired during your mobility experience in another country.
The Europass Certificate Supplement can help you to describe your vocational education and training qualifications in a clear and consistent way.
The Diploma Supplement can help you to describe your higher education qualifications in a clear and consistent way.
The Europass Language Passport was established as one of the Europass document templates in 2004 as a self-assessment tool for language skills and qualifications.
The current Europass integrated the language passport within the Europass profile as a section called language skills. You are still able to self-assess your language competences based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and can share your results with employers or education institutions as necessary.
You can self-assess your language skills in your Europass profile. To self-assess your skills means that you reflect on your skills, and describe your skills levels. You can complete a simple self-assessment table in your Europass profile to describe your language skills. You can read each of the descriptions in the self-assessment tool and pick the level that you think best describes your listening, reading, spoken interaction, spoken production and writing skills in any language. You also store your language certificates in the Europass library. The self-assessment tool uses the Common European Framework for Languages (CEFR).
You can share the self-assessment table from your Europass profile to share with others such as employers, education or training institutions.
You can list, and organise, your digital skills in your Europass profile. You can create a list of all of your digital skills, including tools and software you can use, as well as projects or achievements you are proud of. You can describe the tools you use in your job or studies, as well as the tools you use in your spare-time (e.g. social media, blogging, gaming). You can also organise your skills in different groups, e.g. create a group of digital tools you use for design; or digital skills that you use in your job, or even a list of digital skills you would like to develop.
The Europass Skills Passport was a tool offered through Europass until 2019. It allowed users to create a collection of documents in a single file. The Europass Skills Passport is no longer offered however, registered Europass users can now share documents from their Europass Library.
The European Qualifications Framework (EQF) is an EU tool that makes qualifications more understandable across countries and systems. The EQF allows qualifications gained in any European country to be understood through a simple eight level system. Information on the EQF may be included in your qualification diplomas, or your Diploma Supplement or Certificate Supplement. You can include information on the EQF level of your qualification on your CV and applications to help employers or education and training institutions in other countries understand your qualifications.
