Release notes

Creating an EPO account

Go to the Create an EPO account page.

Enter your first name, last name and email address, and select Create account. You’ll get an email from us inviting you to set a password for your new account. Selecting the button in the email will open a window where you can set that password. Then set up one or more additional authentication “factors” or methods.

After that, complete your setup in MyEPO Portfolio by identifying the company you want to associate with your EPO account. Then ask your company administrator to grant you Mailbox access and file permissions in both MyEPO Portfolio and Online Filing 2.0, as necessary. To pay fees, manage your EPO deposit account and manage the automatic debiting procedure, first contact us via epo.org/support to ensure that your deposit account and EPO account are linked. Then ask your company administrator to grant you the appropriate fee-related rights.  

You’ll need to use two-factor authentication to access our secure services and to change your EPO account settings. 

During the setup process, you'll be asked to accept our terms and conditions. You'll also be able to consult our data protection and privacy policy.

Managing EPO account settings such as authentication methods

You can change your EPO account settings such as first name, last name, preferred language, email address and second-factor authentication methods.   

To do this, sign in to the Account settings page. After selecting Unlock settings, and entering a one-time authentication code, you will be able to change your account settings.  

Key points to consider:

  • Ensure continuous access to the email associated with your EPO account, especially if it's used for two-factor authentication
  • If you change companies, do not forget to update the email associated with your EPO account
  • Consider having at least two backup methods for two-factor authentication to mitigate the risk of losing access to your old email account
