Two-factor authentication (2FA) will be implemented in the ESTER e-catalog starting from 11 February.
The two-factor authentication update affects only these readers who log in via username and password. Other authentication methods, i.e. Smart-ID, Mobile-ID, ID card/Digi-ID, and TAAT — will remain unchanged.
This important additional security layer protects user accounts and sensitive data from unauthorized access, significantly reducing the risk of security threats and ensuring better protection of personal information.
After entering your username and password and clicking the Submit button, a confirmation code will be sent via SMS to your mobile phone or to the email address listed in your contact details. The code must then be entered into the input box displayed on the website to confirm the login.
For more information and instructions, please refer to the ESTER user guide. If you have any questions or issues, please contact your library or send an email to ester@elnet.ee.
