On Monday, November 17, 2025, between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., we will be replacing the existing user management system.

The cockpit will not be available during this time. This is a complete change of the login infrastructure. For this reason, the existing password and two-factor authentication (TOTP, passkey) cannot be transferred, and a one-time password reset will be necessary.

All cockpit users were also informed by e-mail.
