To improve security and usability of EMA applications, EMA has introduced email address authentication. This eliminates the need for users to remember their EMA username and password.
- Since 30 September 2024, all new users are automatically set by default to email authentication;
- On 20 January 2025 EMA initiated the conversion of the accounts of all users that didn’t opt-in to email authentication. This process ended on 14 March 2025; however, some users have not yet completed their account conversion.
- On 8 May 2025 EMA will start blocking access to all users who have not completed their account conversion.
Once converted to email authentication, you can use your email address to authenticate into EMA systems. In this way, as shown in the figure below, and depending on your user domain (e.g.: gmail.com, company.com, …), you will either be redirected to your organisation’s authentication page or will receive an email with a One Time Passcode (OTP).
