Dear user of the Funding & Tenders Portal,
The threats to cybersecurity increase continuously, affecting all systems managing data and information that might be interesting for intruders. The Funding & Tenders Portal hosts a wealth of interesting information that might be under threat if users do not take the necessary measures.
You as a regular user can contribute to increasing the security of your account and the related information and data, by using two-factor authentication (instead of the simple user name – password). This requires limited effort. You have to register a mobile device, and activate the two-factor authentication. At each login, you will then be prompted for your usual password and for a second factor that is sent to your mobile device.
As a frequent user of the portal, you are strongly encouraged to use two-factor authentication. For detailed guidance, you can find a video under the Funding &Tenders Portal menu item ‘Support -> Support videos -> 2-step verification for the Funding & Tenders Portal’:
