Sign in with ID Austria

Using ID Austria instead of an email and password, and what it does not replace.

Support
The swipesign sign-in screen with work email and password fields, and below an "OR SIGN IN WITH" divider, an ID Austria button.

Both the sign-in and registration screens offer ID Austria underneath the form, as an alternative to typing an email and password.

If you hold ID Austria, it is the quicker route in: you authenticate on your phone rather than remembering a password.

What it is for

  • Signing in. Use it instead of your password each time.
  • Registering. Start an account with it rather than setting a password.
It is the only single sign-on option
There is no Google or Microsoft sign-in. ID Austria and an email-and-password are the two ways in.

What it does not replace

Signing in with ID Austria is not the same as verifying your identity. They use the same credential but do different jobs: one gets you into your account, the other issues a signing certificate in your name.

You still complete the identity verification step on the dashboard checklist before you can send documents: though holding ID Austria makes it the fast route there too, taking under a minute rather than ten. See Verify your identity.

It also appears when signing

Separately again: ID Austria shows up as a provider when someone signs a Qualified document. That is a third use of the same credential, by anyone signing: account holder or not. See Signing with an eID you already have.

Keep a password anyway
If you registered with ID Austria and later lose access to it, an email-and-password gives you a second way in. Setting one from your profile is worth the minute. See Change your password.
