New two-step login process to access Europass account

Using just a password is not enough these days as more than 80% of hacks are the result of credential theft. A simple second step after you enter your password will make sure that your account is safer from hackers trying to steal any information that can be misused. Make sure to activate your 2FA in Europass as this will become a mandatory safety requirement soon.  

What do you need to do?  

• Add a second device (smartphone or tablet) to your EU LOGIN account. 

• Download the EU login app onto your phone or tablet (IOS or Android). 

                                                     OR 

• Link your eID (electronic ID) to your EU Login account, click on Link my eID. This option can link your national electronic identity card to your EU Login account.* 

Complete the process according to the steps explained in the instructions document or watch the video tutorial. 

* This option is available only in certain EU countries. If you are already using this option no additional action is required.
