What this law does
Article 5f(3) of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014, as inserted by Regulation (EU) 2024/1183, requires providers of very large online platforms that require user authentication for access to online services to also accept and facilitate the use of European Digital Identity Wallets for user authentication. The acceptance is only upon the voluntary request of the user and in respect of the minimum data necessary for the specific online service for which authentication is requested.
Whether a provider is covered turns on its designation as a very large online platform under Article 33 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065. Pursuant to Article 33(4) of that Regulation the Commission adopts a decision designating the online platform. Article 5a(1) requires each Member State to provide a European Digital Identity Wallet within 24 months of the date of entry into force of the implementing acts referred to in Article 5a(23) and Article 5c(6). Article 16(1) leaves the penalties for infringements of the Regulation to the Member States.
