FED-LOGIN - Info

What is FED-LOGIN?

The term FED-LOGIN covers all login methods that enable the use of the SG PKI-based digital identity (eID). Individuals who have been onboarded by Federal Administration HR or by certain partners of the Federal Administration, such as cantonal administrations, receive an SG PKI-based eID via their employer's processes.

It is worth noting that these employees receive a smartcard and/or mobile VDI access from the Federal Administration. This SG PKI-based eID can be used on all networks (including the internet) by means of this smartcard and additionally via Kerberos within the Federal Administration's network. This SG PKI-based eID can now also be used with a username, password and two-factor authentication such as mTAN, authenticator app, Mobile ID and FIDO2. Mobile ID and FIDO2 result in high-quality authentication that works on any network, with any device, i.e. also from the internet. Users register and manage these login factors, password and two-factor authentication factors, including their Mobile ID and FIDO2, themselves at www.myaccount.eiam.admin.ch. This must be done using smartcard authentication or, if no smartcard is available, via video identification.

Mobile ID as a second factor is not available to all individuals equipped with SG PKI; for commercial contract reasons, it is currently restricted to internal and external employees who have been onboarded by Federal Administration HR.

Note: Video verification as a smartcard replacement and FIDO2 as an alternative to Mobile ID will be introduced in the course of 2023. Video verification as a smartcard replacement is aimed at mobile VDI users who do not receive a smartcard.
