Strong authentication
Strong authentication factor can be by SMS (by default) or by APP. easypay recommends the App as it is the safest factor – see here how to change.
Since 2019, payment service providers (PSP) have had to perform strong authentication of their customers whenever they want to:
- Access your payment account online;
- Initiate an electronic payment.
Strong authentication factor can be by SMS (by default) or by APP. easypay recommends the App as it is the safest factor.
