Reminder: Email authentication to EMA systems - Timeline to convert your user
Since the 30 September 2024:
- All new self-registered users are automatically set by default to email authentication.
- All users not converted are requested to opt-in before the 20 January 2025.
On 20 January 2025 the EMA has initiated the conversion of all users that 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
If not yet done, the users are requested to opt-in at the earliest convenience to email authentication in EMA Account Management by following the enclosed detailed instructions.
Once converted to email authentication, users can use email address to authenticate into EMA systems. In this way, as showed in the figure below, and depending on the user domain, they will either be redirected to their authentication page or will receive an email with an authentication code.
