As of Q4 2022, enhanced security measures require additional authentication for XENTRY Flash operations. Ensure your workshop is prepared for this crucial update to maintain seamless diagnostic processes with Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
For commissioning, programming, and coding of control units, a secondary authentication layer is now mandatory for every user, supplementing the standard username and password login. This update, effective from Quarter 4 of 2022, is designed to bolster security and protect sensitive vehicle data.
To comply with this enhanced security protocol, you will need to utilize one of the following authentication methods:
- Smartphone Authentication App: A convenient and readily accessible option for secure authentication.
OR
- USB Security Key: For a hardware-based authentication solution, any USB security key supporting the FIDO2 standard is compatible. These keys are widely available from electronics retailers and manufacturers.
It is highly recommended to set up both authentication methods immediately. This redundancy ensures continuous operation even if one authentication factor is lost or unavailable, minimizing disruption to your workflow.
For detailed guidance on setting up these authentication factors, a comprehensive HelpCard is available for download, providing step-by-step instructions.
