    ## **The EU Login Mobile app** **Download the EU Login Mobile App on your phone.** The EU Login Mobile app can be used when accessing a service that requires increased security. The app is free and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store (Android), the Apple Store (iOS) or the Windows Store (Windows phone). After **installing** the app, you need to initialise it. To do so, you need a PC in addition to your mobile device. The EU Login Mobile app offers a variety of options to log in once activated, such as: 1. **EU Login Mobile App PIN code** - If the mobile device where your EU Login Mobile App is installed has internet connectivity then you can use the EU Login Mobile App PIN Code verification method. 2. **EU Login Mobile App QR code** - If the mobile device where your EU Login Mobile App is installed does not have internet connectivity then you can use the EU Login Mobile App QR Code verification method. 3. **On mobile authentication** - If you are navigating on the same mobile device as the one where the EU Login Mobile App is installed you can use the On Mobile verification method.
    Tip! The EU Login app can only be installed on a mobile device with a working camera.
    [[The above methods can be used without compelling the user to expose a mobile phone number. Alternatively, you can also use Mobile phone + SMS as two-factor authentication method to log in to the Commission IT systems and services with EU Login. To use this method you must have your mobile number associated with your EU Login account. ]]
