A Security Key or Trusted Platform are (external) devices that can be used for multi-factor authentication with EU Login. Currently the two types are supported on modern browsers; you can test if your browser is compliant via https://caniuse.com/#search=webauthn.
A Security Key generally is an external device which can be plugged in via USB (or can connect via Bluetooth or NFC) to your computer. In order for it to work with EU Login it must be FIDO2 compliant, please make check your device’s compatibility on the FIDO alliance website: https://fidoalliance.org/certification/fido-certified-products/
A Trusted Platform is a security chip that is part of compatible computers. Please refer to your computer’s technical documentation to make sure they are supported and enabled.
Warning: You will first have to configure your Security Key or Trusted Platform on your computer. Only afterwards you will be able to link it to your EU Login account.
To add a device to your account:
- Log into EU Login and go to "My Account".
- Click on "Manage my Security Keys and Trusted Platforms”.
Note that this action may require stronger authentication if you already added other second factors to your account. - Either choose "Add a Security Key" or "Add a Trusted Platform", the options are enabled or disabled depending on the compatibility of your browser and device.
- Enter a device name and click on "Submit"
