Important Update: Enhanced Security for XENTRY Flash Operations
Please note that Mercedes-Benz has implemented enhanced security measures for XENTRY Flash operations. As of Quarter 4/2022, a second authentication factor is required for all users performing commissioning, programming, and coding of control units.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Requirement:
In addition to your username and password, you will need one of the following authentication methods:
- Smartphone Authentication App: A convenient and secure method using a dedicated app on your smartphone.
- USB Security Key (FIDO2 Standard): Utilize a USB security key that supports the FIDO2 standard for robust hardware-based authentication. Any FIDO2 compliant key from reputable electronics retailers will work.
Mercedes-Benz recommends setting up both authentication options to ensure continuous operation even if one factor is lost or unavailable. A helpful HelpCard is available for download to guide you through the MFA setup process.
