Päivitä EU Login App

25.10.2022

EU Login mobiiliappi on kätevä tapa kirjautua SYSPERiin joko PIN-koodilla tai sormenjäljellä tekstiviestivarmistuksen sijasta. 

Tämä uutinen ei koske tekstiviestivarmistusta käyttäviä. 

Nyt appia päivitetään turvallisemmaksi. Alla on DG DIGITin tiedote asiasta.

EU Loginin käyttöä on selostettu käsikirjan luvussa 4.

Upgrade your EU Login app for safer authentication

To maintain optimum security, the EU Login app will soon change how you receive authentication requests. Please upgrade your app as soon as possible.

‘Push’ notifications that pop up on mobile devices have become a recognised way for malicious hackers to access accounts.

If you use a PIN code or biometrics to authenticate with the EU Login app, you will soon receive authentication requests inside the app instead of via push notifications.

The change will go live 31 October.

  • iOS users must upgrade to the latest version (1.10.2 or higher) of the EU Login app as soon as possible. Once the change goes live, iOS users with older versions of the app will not be able to confirm authentication requests by PIN code or biometrics.
  • Android users will still be able to receive authentication requests with old versions of the app. However, to maintain optimum security, they are encouraged to upgrade when the new version is released.
