As of Q4 2022, Mercedes-Benz workshops are required to utilize enhanced security measures for XENTRY Flash operations. This necessitates a secondary authentication for each user, ensuring the highest levels of security when commissioning, programming, and coding control units. Alongside your username and password, you will now need an additional authentication factor to proceed with these critical tasks. Prepare your workshop for this essential update and discover how the Xentry Diagnosis Kit can streamline your diagnostic processes while adhering to these new security standards.
To meet the new security requirements, you can choose from two convenient authentication methods:
- Smartphone Authentication App: A user-friendly and readily accessible option for secure authentication.
- USB Security Key: For enhanced physical security, any FIDO2 standard compliant USB security key from your preferred electronics retailer or manufacturer will be compatible.
For uninterrupted workflow, we highly recommend setting up both authentication options. This redundancy ensures you maintain access even if one authentication method becomes unavailable. Refer to the comprehensive HelpCard available for download to guide you through the simple setup process.
