There have been reports of fraudulent text messages being sent in connection with ID Austria.

If you receive a text message asking you to reset your ID Austria without having initiated this process yourself, please ignore this message. It is not possible to reset your password without your cell phone.

In some cases, calls are also made afterwards. These do not come from A-Trust. We never contact our users by phone in connection with ID Austria security procedures. If you receive such a call, end the conversation immediately and do not follow any instructions.

Your ID Austria is protected by your signature password and a second factor (app or FIDO token). A signature can only be triggered if both factors—password and second factor—are present. This ensures that your digital identity remains secure.
