What is EU Login?
EU Login is the European Commission's user authentication service. It allows authorised users to access a wide range of Commission web services, using a single email address and password.
CIRCABC is using EU Login as authentication service. -

I have lost my password and don't have access to my old mailbox, what should I do?
Please open a ticket with the Central Helpdesk for the "ACCESS-RIGHTS" team. This can be done via EC-CENTRAL-HELPDESK@ec.europa.eu or +32 229 58181 (Monday-Friday between 8:00-18:00 Central European Time) in order to obtain a temporary password to be able to update your email address.
Once the temporary password is received, you will be able to update the e-mail address (See the previous point: How to change your email address?). -
Why is EU Login asking me to provide a PIN code?
Your account belongs to the eFP7 application, that's why there is a PIN code required in order to increase the security level of the user.
According to the information provided to us (the eFP7 application is independent of CIRCABC), you should have received an automatic e-mail from the system when your LEAR account was created.
For security reasons, to retrieve your PIN code, you can either contact ec-research-it-helpdesk@ec.europa.eu or call our colleagues of EC-RESEARCH-IT-HELPDESK directly – phone number +352 4301 31570 (Monday to Friday between 9:00-17:00 Central European Time). -
EU Login is asking me to provide a phone number
The phone number is not required to create the EU Login account for CIRCABC if the login is done via the CIRCABC link https://circabc.europa.eu rather than directly in EU Login. We therefore propose that you try again to login or to reset your password.

We have created an account linked to a shared (functional) mailbox, the password has not been sent
When sharing a mailbox, some users accessing this mailbox do not see all messages while others do. This often happens when messages are marked as Private, as in EU Login. We therefore propose that you check the delegation given to this shared mailbox. Otherwise you can contact DIGIT User Access to optain a password. You can reach them by opening a ticket through the Central Helpdesk (EC-CENTRAL-HELPDESK@ec.europa.eu or +32 229 58181). Internal users can contact EC-HELPDESK-IT@ec.europa.eu.
