Although FranceConnect is used by more than 40 million people, the inter-ministerial digital department announced on July 6 that FranceConnect+ has reached one million users. The system will also gradually be extended to other approaches.
FranceConnect+ was launched in 2021 and theoretically makes it possible to ensure access to procedures that require a higher level of security, such as consulting a medical file, opening a bank account or applying for a gray card for a vehicle. However, the FranceConnect+ site does not show any examples of use of the service.
gradual generalization
Strong security means double authentication. The use of FranceConnect+ requires the creation of an account “‘Digital identity’ at La Poste:so when it connects, the user identifies himself with his phone number, receives a notification through the application and then enters the secret code he has chosen.
Stanislas Guérini also announces the gradual generalization of the “use of FranceConnect+ to guarantee the security of the most sensitive public procedures”.
From October 2022, to deal with fraud in the personal training account (CPF), two-factor authentication is mandatory for any training purchase through FranceConnect+.
Last August, FranceConnect was pointed out due to security failures to access his Ameli account, before finally being disconnected from the system by the Health Insurance.
