Europass now offers more flexibility and control over the security of your account. It is not compulsory anymore to set up a two-factor authentication (2FA) to login to your Europass account, which gives you more choice in how you protect your data.

While the European Commission recommends using two-factor authentication (2FA) to increase account security, it is nor compulsory to set it up. You can choose to log in with just a password or add a second authentication factor, such as the EU login app, for added protection.

Використання всього лише пароля в ці дні недостатньо, оскільки більше 80% хакерів є результатом крадіжки облікових даних. Простий другий крок після введення пароля переконається, що ваш обліковий запис безпечніше від хакерів, які намагаються вкрасти будь-яку інформацію, яка може бути використана неправильно. Переконайтеся в тому, щоб активувати 2FA в Europass, оскільки це стане обов'язковою вимогою безпеки найближчим часом.  

What do you need to do? 

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

                                                 AND

If you already registered a Europass account, you already have a built-in credential wallet. This wallet is similar to a bank account, where third parties can transfer your learning credentials to. You can give your wallet address to any party for direct credential depositing purposes, but this will not allow them to see the credentials already stored in your wallet.

Where do I find my credentials?

If you have an Europass eportfolio, you find them under ‘Certificates and Diplomas’ in My Library. Other wallet implementers might have a different structural setup.

European Digital Credentials for learning can describe:

• activities (e.g. classes attended),
• assessments (e.g. projects),
• achievements (e.g. skills developed),
• professional entitlements (e.g. registration as a medical doctor) and
• qualifications.

European Digital Credentials allow learners to keep a track record of their learning and jobseekers to easily apply for job throughout Europe by sampling sharing their digital credentials as part of their job application. 

Any educational institution in Europe can begin issuing digital credentials to their students for free using the European Digital Credentials for learning web services. Read all the information required is for the institution to acquire an e-seal with which to authenticate the credentials. Get started with preparing digital credentials.
