How to access the EPO's online services using two-factor authentication (2FA) - Online seminar - English
EPO smart cards will be decommissioned at the end of 2024. Instead of your smart card, you can already use two-factor authentication (2FA) to access our online services, including filing, MyEPO Portfolio and Central Fee Payment.
Between now and the end of 2024, you can use both your smart card and 2FA to file with the EPO, which gives you time to get used to using 2FA.
So, don’t leave it until the end of the year - make the switch and start using 2FA today!
During the two-hour seminar, EPO experts will explain everything you need to know about using an EPO account with 2FA.
