NAV: electronic administration has become even more secure
The advanced, two-step identification service, Ügyfélkapu+, is available from June 2022. The new identification service, which can be used through the Central Identification Agent (KAÜ) and supplements the Ügyfélkapu login, provides greater security than before during electronic administration.
What does two-step identification mean?
The essence of two-step identification is that it supplements the widely used and commonly used password-based, single-factor identification method with a second factor, which can only be linked to the mobile device in the possession of the given user.
In practice, this means that when logging in, the user must also provide a third piece of information, a one-time code generated by the authenticator application installed on their mobile phone or tablet, which is updated every 30 seconds. The authentication application does not require internet access, the application generates the temporary code based on its own internal time.
What is required to apply for Ügyfélkapu+?
The Ügyfélkapu+ service is free of charge, and to use it, you need Ügyfélkapu registration and a mobile device, preferably with a camera, that can run independent authentication applications. For example, such an application is NISZ Authenticator, which is available free of charge on both Android and iOS platforms, but countless other free applications are also suitable for the purpose.
To download the NISZ authentication application, click on the link below or scan the code with your mobile device's camera:
Google Play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hu.innobile.niszauth
App Store - https://apps.apple.com/hu/app/nisz-hitelesítő/id1603444961
How do I set up Ügyfélkapu+ two-step authentication?
The request for the advanced identification service can be initiated after logging in to https://ugyfelkapu.gov.hu – after entering your customer portal username and password.
First, select the Request Customer Portal+ menu item, then pair your devices with the service by clicking on the “Tovább az Ügyfélkapu+ igényléshez” button.
During the following steps, the system also generates a so-called deletion code, with which you can easily and quickly terminate the service if you lose or have your mobile device stolen.
How can I log in to Ügyfélkapu portal after this?
After successful setup, you no longer need to click on the Customer Portal button on the login interface, but on the Ügyfélkapu+ button.
After entering your username and password, the system will also request the current numeric code generated by the application installed on your mobile device.
If you no longer wish to use two-step authentication, or if electronic administration is not possible with two-factor authentication in the given system, Customer Gateway+ – also on the ugyfelkapu.gov.hu interface – can be deactivated at any time without terminating the service, and then reactivated as required. It is also possible to permanently delete two-step authentication on this interface. (https://www.magyarorszag.hu/szuf_hir?id=18159c50-e4ae-447b-81bf-35d32e0e289a)
