2-Faktor-Anmeldung im Onlineportal

Two-factor authentication

Double security for the GEMA Online Portal

Our Online Portal is becoming even more secure: In January 2023 we introduced the two-factor authentication (2FA). This login method for a secure online section has been common practice, in the case of online banking it is actually mandatory. Here you can find out in detail how you can log in with the second factor. Please check out our video tutorials and read the answers to frequently asked questions.

Password reset on 1 March

Please note: On 1 March 2023 we will deactivate the existing passwords of all users who have not logged in to the Online Portal since 18 January. Please log in to the Online Portal once by this date if you wish to keep your password. You will still be able to use your access after this date in any case: you can set a new password at any time using the function Forgot password.

Go to login

Does this change affect me?

Creators (2nd factor required)

You can choose from all methods available. It is also possible to activate several factors. That way, you are on the safe side, if a factor drops out or is unavailable, because your mobile is damaged, for example.

Music publishers and sister societies or organisations (2nd factor required)

As a music publisher or a sister society or organisation, you must confirm your login with an e-mail code. For security reasons, the methods via app are not available to you. After all, we cannot ensure that each publisher or each sister society or organisation provides all of its employees with a company mobile.

Customers (2nd factor optional)

The 2-factor authentication is optional for you. You can activate the second factor in the Online Portal section My Details. Please watch the video tutorials for creators and publishers to find out how you can set up a second factor.

At a glance: What stays – what changes:

These steps remain the same:

You log in with your e-mail address and your password in the GEMA Online Portal. This will continue to function as usual and is expected to work until 28 February 2023. After that your old password will be deactivated. You may, however, ask for a new one via the function Reset password at any time.

This is new:

A second factor is added. This factor is generated each time you log in and thus significantly increases security. This means: Even if someone found out about your password, they cannot access the Online Portal.

This is how the new login works
