The Portuguese Tax Authority (AT) has introduced Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on the Finance Portal to improve account security. This extra verification step will help protect users from unauthorized access and credential theft.
The rollout will be gradual:
· Phase 1 targets individual taxpayers without business or professional activity.
· Later phases will include business users and organizations
Each time users log in, they’ll enter:
· Their NIF and password
· A unique code sent via SMS
To use 2FA, taxpayers must have a confirmed phone number registered with the Tax Authority. If users need to change their phone number, they can do so through the portal or via authentication.gov, using a Citizen Card or Digital Mobile Key.
How to Enable 2FA – the taxpayer will have to go to the Finance Portal menu: Services > Taxpayer Authentication > Access Data.
