A New Digital Passport to Securely Login to insurance portals
The current Digital Passport knows some drawbacks from a security perspective. Recently after collaboration with SIVI, a new authentication method has been chosen, based on the eHerkenning platform used by the Dutch government.
Service providers and users who use Digital Passports to login to insurance portals have until December 2020 to switch from the use of Digital Passports to eHerkenning.
In practice, this will mean that Digidentity will ask you to appoint one or more Company administrators. The company administrator will have to be authorized by someone who is authorized to sign on behalf of the company. The company administrator will then be able to authorize other people to use eHerkenning on behalf of the company.

More about eHerkenningWhat this means for your employees?
An eHerkennings product is a personal product which cannot be shared or transferred. An authorization is granted on a service level and on personal basis. An authorization can be granted by someone who is authorized to sign on behalf of the company, conforming to KVK standards. When you are not authorized to sign, you will have to request authorization from the company.
With a chain authorization, an organization is able to authorize a different organization to be able to use their eHerkennings product.
