Your account on swisspass.ch is the basis for a public transport travelcard such as the Half Fare Travelcard or GA Travelcard.

If you buy tickets on SBB.ch or in the SBB Mobile / SBB Preview app, you have the option of logging in with the same access details as for swisspass.ch. This means you have only one login for your public transport services. On SBB.ch, this account is called ‘Profile’.

Since you can also buy travelcards (and tickets) for other people, we distinguish between the contracting party and the person travelling.

In your SwissPass account, you will only be able to find an invoice for your travelcard if you are also the contracting party. For example, if you purchased a GA Travelcard for your son, you will be the contracting party and your son will be a passenger. As a passenger, your son will not be able to find any invoice information regarding the GA Travelcard in his SwissPass account. However, you will see this information as you are the contracting party.

More about the distinction between the contracting party and the person travelling.

In most cases, the contracting party and the person travelling are the same person because you buy a travelcard (or a ticket) for yourself. However, if you purchase a travelcard (or a ticket) for another person (e.g. a child, your grandfather or anyone else), you are then the contracting party and the other person is the person travelling.

This determines what contracting partners and travelling passengers see in their respective SwissPass accounts.

As soon as you have saved a verified mobile number in your SwissPass account, multi-factor authentication (MFA) is automatically activated for sensitive functions. This ensures your data is optimally protected against misuse. 

Pressing the ‘Sign out from all devices’ button under ‘Login and security’ will sign you out of your SwissPass account on all signed-in devices. If you sign out from all devices, you must sign in again for all online services and apps that work with your SwissPass login. Your SwissPass Mobile will also be deactivated. You will have to reactivate the ‘Stay signed in’ function if you want to use it.

If you suspect that unauthorised persons have gained access to your account, we recommend that you change your password immediately. If you use the same password for your e-mail account or other services as you do for your SwissPass login, you should also change these passwords. An even more secure option is to change to a password-free login method, such as passkey or login code.

For additional security, we also recommend activating multi-factor authentication (MFA) and storing a mobile number in your account.

First, enter a verified mobile number in your account. This activates multi-factor authentication (MFA) for sensitive functions (e.g. signing in from a new device), which protects your data against misuse.

We also recommend password-free login methods, for example, using a passkey or login code. Passkeys offer a number of advantages over traditional passwords.

Your personal security level indicates how well your account is protected. Level 4 represents the highest possible level of protection. If you have not yet reached this level, we will guide you step by step with recommendations.

No. An e-mail address can only be used once for data security reasons. We therefore ask you to use a different e-mail address if you wish to register another person.

If you do not find an e-mail in your inbox, please also check your spam folder. Ensure that you entered your e-mail address correctly. 

It may take a few moments for the code to be sent. If you have not received a code after a few minutes, you can request a new code. To do this, click‘Resend code’.

If you would like to make an initial registration for another person on swisspass.chLink opens in new window., you need to use another e-mail address.

How to proceed: You must first renew your forgotten password for the previous e-mail address. Only once you have done this can you enter a new e-mail address for your login. You can also enter a recovery e-mail address. You need this to recover your SwissPass account yourself if necessary.

If you still have access to your previous e-mail account:

• When logging in, click on the ‘Forgotten your password?’ link or click on this ‘Reset password’Link opens in new window. link.

You need the recovery e-mail address to recover your SwissPass account yourself if necessary. This is required, for example, if you have activated the login code as your login method but are unable to access this e-mail inbox.

In this situation, as an alternative, you can receive the code at your recovery e-mail address so that you can still access your SwissPass account (select ‘Continue with recovery e-mail’ on the login screen). For this reason, the recovery e-mail address must be different from the login e-mail address.

We recommend that you switch to a password-free login method. This offers you increased security and you no longer have to remember passwords.

A passkey is a modern, secure and password-free way of signing in for online services. It uses cryptographic pairs of keys that are exchanged between the user’s device and the service to uniquely verify the user’s identity.

The greatest advantage of passkeys is their user friendliness: set it up once and you can sign in easily using facial recognition (Face ID), your fingerprint or the device code – no need to remember a password.

Passkeys offer greater security than conventional passwords for several reasons:

• Protection against phishing: since you do not need to enter any passwords, you are protected against the theft of your data by fake websites or phishing e-mails.
• No reuse of passwords: passkeys are created individually for each service, removing the risk of password reuse.
• Linked to the device: the passkey remains securely stored on your device. Attackers would need physical access to your device to compromise your account.

1. Start by setting up passkeys on your smartphone.
2. Update your device: make sure your device supports the latest software version that allows passkeys.
3. How to activate passkeys: sign in to your SwissPass account and navigate to ‘My account’ > ‘Login and security’. There you will find the option to activate passkeys. Please only use this option on your personal devices.
4. Set-up: follow the instructions for setting up passkeys. 
5. Usage: for future logins, select the ‘Sign in with passkey’ option and confirm the login on your device using biometric authentication (e.g. fingerprint or facial recognition) or a PIN.
6. As soon as the set-up is complete on your smartphone, you can continue with the set-up on your desktop, if you would also like access to swisspass.ch there. 
7. To do this, go to the login screen at swisspass.ch, click on ‘Cancel’ and sign in using the one-time code.
8. Under ‘My account’ > ‘Login and security’ > ‘Passkeys’, you can set up another passkey for your desktop.

1. Log in to your SwissPass account.
2. Navigate to ‘My account’, ‘Login and security’ and select ‘Login code’ as the login method.
3. Enter and verify your recovery e-mail address.

For future logins, the login code will be sent to you directly by e-mail after you have entered your login e-mail address. Instead of the password, you will immediately be asked for the login code.

With this login option, you sign in using a one-time code instead of your password. This is valid once and just for a few minutes.
