Two-step verification for online government services to kick in on July 5

Over 80% of SingPass users have already set up 2FA.

Majority of government e-services will require two-factor authentication (2FA) starting July 5, Tuesday, the Infocomm Development Authority said.

The IDA stated that 80% of regular SingPass users have already set up their 2FA, which was first introduced to the SingPass system in July last year.

Users who have yet to set up their 2FA will be given a one-time grace period of 30 days when they log in to SingPass from July 5. This will allow them to perform urgent e-transactions while they set up their 2FA. Some examples will include online registration for Primary One and certain CPF e-services.

The starting date of this grace period will differ across users, depending on when they log in to SingPass. After the grace period ends, users will require 2FA to access e-services involving sensitive data, the IDA said.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
