CH-LOGIN - Link AGOV identity (BYOI) with eIAM

DeepL translated, language service translation follows.

Instructions: Link CH-LOGIN - AGOV identity (BYOI) with eIAM

You already have a CH-LOGIN account and want to use it with your AGOV identity in future. The "Bring Your Own Identity (BYOI)" link enables you to use your existing authorisations and data in the specialist applications of the Federal Administration with your AGOV identity.

These instructions are based on the assumption that you already use a CH-LOGIN and you want to link your AGOV identity to this CH-LOGIN.

Important: Please note that it is not possible to link a CH-LOGIN with more than one BYOI identity. If you have already linked your CH-LOGIN to an identity from another identity provider, you must first delete this link. You can find the corresponding instructions here: CH-LOGIN - Delete existing link with external (BYOI) identity

Important: You already have an AGOV access account with the same e-mail address as you use in CH-LOG. If not, follow the AGOV registration instructions at: .

Call up the address of eIAM MyAccount

with your web browser.
Select the tile "CH-LOGIN & AGOV (eGovernment)".

If you have registered your AGOV identity with the same e-mail address as your CH-LOGIN, CH-LOGIN will recognise this and you will be prompted directly to log in to CH-LOGIN with this account.

What if I use an external BYOI identity with a different e-mail address?

No existing CH-LOGIN account is linked to the e-mail address reported by your identity provider (BYOI). We are therefore unable to determine whether you already have a CH-LOGIN account that is registered with a different e-mail address. A CH-LOGIN account that you already use is linked to authorisations and data in Federal Administration applications to which you only have access with this existing CH-LOGIN account.

If you already have a CH-LOGIN account, select "Use existing CH-LOGIN account".

If you do not yet have a CH-LOGIN account, accept the above-mentioned restriction ☑ and click on "Create new CH-LOGIN account". Please note that once you have created a new CH-LOGIN account, it is no longer possible to link it to another existing CH-LOGIN account.

Or cancel by clicking on Cancel and log in differently.

Fill in the password field and click Continue.

If your account is protected with a second factor, you will now be asked for the second factor.

If both login factors are correct, you will now be asked whether you want to keep your CH-LOGIN profile data or whether you want to replace it with the data supplied by AGOV. If you would like to use the AGOV data, click on Use data from your identity provider.

Caution, if you are using a verified second factor method (e.g. password + mobile ID/FIDO security key with VIPS), then the existing CH-LOGIN user profile data cannot be changed! Click on Keep CH-LOGIN data

You will now be redirected to MyAccount. In MyAccount, your current data is displayed in the user profile.

Under Login & Security, you will see that your external BYOI AGOV identity is now linked to eIAM.

You can now use your AGOV identity with this eIAM account.

Log out of MyAccount and test the convenient and secure AGOV login!

Can I remove the external IdP link in MyAccount using the login credentials of the external IdP?

Yes, but you must confirm the removal of the external IdP link by entering the CH-LOGIN password.
