You will need to enter your username and password to login to the mobile application.

You can use the app to view your personal details, change your profile picture and change your password.

You can also generate One-time passwords (OTP) to be used to login on EServices which require Two Factor Authentication (2FA), for example mokloud eservice.

You need to enable 2FA on your MauPass profile by going to a post office, to be able to generate OTPs. You should bring your National Identity Card or Passport if you have registered on MauPass using your passport number.
