Three security levels are:
- the first level allows access to basic online services (you need only your SPID credential username and password).
- the second level allows access to online services that required an higher level of security (you need your SPID credentials along with a temporary OTP (one time password) access code or with an app supplied by the identity manager provider.
- the third level provides, in addition to the SPID credentials, the use of additional security solutions and any physical devices (e.g. smart cards) that are supplied by the identity manager provider.
