ECMWF plans to retire On 31 March 2023, ECMWF retired the ActivIdentity (HID) Security Tokens that have been used to provide a two-factor (strong) authentication access to ECMWF systems since 2007, and replace has replaced these with a TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) Client application. This page describes how to activate TOTP for your ECMWF User and documents the current status of services that have been configured to use TOTP The page was last updated on 31 Oct . |

Time-based One-Time Passwords are only required for login access to:
Time-based One-Time Passwords are NOT required for logging in to the ECMWF web site, ecCharts, to use the WebAPI to download data from MARS or the CDSAPI to download data from the Copernicus Climate Data Store (CDS). |
...
- You can have as many TOTP devices configured as you like. Either you have several different authenticator apps installed on your mobile phone, or you can use several different mobile phones.
- Command line tools such as oathtool provide a command line TOTP app that can be used from a workstation or laptop
- You can delete your own configured TOTP. If you delete all your configured TOTP devices, then the behaviour reverts back to the current one (i.e. use of ActivIdentity HID security token)
- If you cannot login at all because of TOTP, open a Software and computing ticket in the ECMWF Support Portal to request deletion of the wrong TOTP profile .
