EEX Customer Information - Mandatory 2-factor-authentication in M7-Auction

    All M7-Auction users must activate 2FA until 24 July 2024

    Dear trading participants, To further increase security, two-factor-authentication (2FA) will be mandatory as of 24 July 2024 by an update of the M7 Auction system. Following the update it will no longer be possible to log into the M7-Auction system without two-factor authentication.

    We therefore ask all users to activate 2FA authentication in the user settings. Since the functionality is already available in the current software but is not yet mandatory, the necessary activation by users can also take place before 24 July 2024.

    2FA can be activated by users of M7A via SettingsAuthentication. To do this, users need a TOTP app such as Microsoft Authenticator on a separate device. Which TOTP app is used is irrelevant. Additional installation instructions are provided during the activation process.

    Detailed information about the process of activation of 2FA can be found on the EEX website under following link in section Auction System: https://www.eex.com/en/markets/environmental-markets/eu-ets-auctions 

    Please note, a login without activated 2FA is no longer possible after 25 July 2024!

    In case of any further questions do not hesitate to contact us via phone or email.

    Yours sincerely,
