EMA has introduced email address authentication for EMA applications to improve security and usability of EMA applications by removing the need for users to remember their EMA username and password.
Date: 13/12/2024
All new self-registered users are automatically set by default to email authentication.
All users not converted are requested to opt in before 20 January 2025.
Starting from 20 January 2025, the EMA will initiate the conversion of all users who didn’t opt in to the email authentication:
- 20 January: Non-regulatory users without specific application roles;
- 3 February: Non-regulatory users with application roles;
- 3 March: Regulatory users (European Medicines Regulatory Network);
- 31 March: all users are converted.
How to opt in: Users are required to opt in to email authentication in EMA Account Management by following the enclosed detailed instructions. Once converted to email authentication, users can use their email address to authenticate into EMA systems, as shown in the figure below.
