What is Two-Step Authentication Mechanism?
The commissioner for Revenue enforces a Two-Factor
Authentication Mechanism for Tax Practitioners and users acting on behalf of
Employers, Data Providers and Vat Holders. In addition to their e-ID account
user name and password, these users are also required to provide a second-step
Verification. Users can choose between “Method 1” using an Authenticator App on
their smart-phone or else using the digital certificate stored on their e-ID
Cards described below as “Method 2”.
Further information related to Two-Factor
Authentication is available on Authentication
Mechanism Guidelines.
