Senef installs PassKeys to simplify and secure access to its solutions for users

PassKey, an alternative to passwords on your SENEF solutions

What are PassKeys?

PassKey is a set of authentication technologies jointly adopted by Apple, Google, Microsoft and Firefox.

The idea is to provide users with an alternative to passwords, which are often too numerous and difficult to remember, when logging on to an online service.

To replace or supplement the password, users can use a solution such as facial or digital recognition, or a code, via their computer or cell phone.

  • Example 1: On my Progiclean or Progisap access page, I select facial recognition on the same computer, and the connection is automatic.
  • Example 2: On my Progiclean or Progisap access page, I select digital recognition on my cell phone, and the connection is automatic.

On Senef solutions, you can create several PassKeys in your account, and thus benefit from both facial recognition access from your computer, if it is equipped with a camera, and recognition via your cell phone. When you log in, you choose which PassKey you want to use.

Principles and benefits of Passkeys

Instead of using complex alphanumeric combinations, each device generates a unique cryptographic key called a Passkey. These keys are used to authenticate the device without the need for manual password entry.

PassKeys work by creating device-specific keys, reinforcing security and simplifying the authentication process. When a user attempts to connect to a service or website, the device generates a unique Passkey. This key is then used to validate the device's identity, eliminating the need to enter a password. The user thus benefits from a fluid and secure connection experience.

PassKeys enhance security by eliminating potential weaknesses in user password management. In addition, the use of PassKeys improves the user experience by simplifying the authentication process. Users no longer need to memorize complex passwords, which solves the frequent problem of forgotten passwords. This simplification contributes to making online services more accessible and user-friendly.

How Passkeys work in Senef solutions

Installing PassKey in the user account

First and foremost, any Progiclean or Progisap user can create PassKeys in their user profile with just a few clicks. They can create as many PassKeys as they like.

 

For example, he can create a PassKey to identify himself using digital or facial recognition from his computer, and another to identify himself via mobile access, using code, facial or digital recognition, to confirm his connection on his computer.

 

Everyday use of PassKey

Once PassKeys have been created, they become automatically available on the user's Progiclean or Progisap login page.

Users can then select the available PassKey procedure of their choice and authenticate without a password.

Obligation to dematerialize invoices in 2024, we help you see more clearly

Our customers are starting to wonder about the obligation to dematerialize invoices in 2024 and are asking us on the subject.

  • What is a paperless invoice?
  • Who is affected?
  • What is the timeline for implementation?
  • How do I set up e-invoicing?
  • How does the government communicate?
  • How will SENEF and its solutions support you?

These are all questions that Nicolas FAUVEL, SENEF Product Manager, sheds light on.

Here is a summary of the information related to this obligation and the actions we will implement within our solutions.

What is a paperless invoice?

In accordance with the new Article 289 bis of the General Tax Code, an electronic invoice is an invoice issued, transmitted and received in a dematerialized form and which necessarily includes a minimum base of data in structured form, which differentiates it from "paper" invoices or ordinary PDFs.

In other words, the electronic invoice contains, in its structure and in a particular format, the information that characterizes it.

These invoices will only be valid if the authenticity of their origin (identified issuer), the integrity of their content (non-modifiable) and their legibility are guaranteed.

Who is affected by the obligation to dematerialize invoices?

This obligation only applies to the inter-company invoice, i.e. B2B, and not to the invoicing of a company to a particular customer, i.e. B2C.

What is the timeline for implementation?

Upon receipt, all companies subject to VAT will have to offer this service by1 July 2024.

In the issuing sector, the schedule is broken down according to the size of the companies:

  • Company with more than 5000 employees >> July 2024
  • Company with 250 to 4999 employees >> January 2025
  • Company with fewer than 249 employees >> January 2026

How do I set up e-invoicing?

Companies will then have 2 options to implement electronic invoicing:

  • Use a dematerialization platform known as a "partner" of the administration
  • Use the public invoicing portal, which will be based on the Chorus Pro platform (which has already been providing the dematerialized exchange of invoices for transactions with the public sector since 2017)

How does the government communicate?

The Ministry of the Economy and Finance estimates that the lever for simplifying and accelerating the digital transition of companies, the generalization of electronic invoicing, represents, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises, a gain of more than €4.5 billion per year (see preliminary assessment PLFR 2022).

"This reform brings great progress for companies:

  • Strengthening their competitiveness thanks to the reduction of the administrative burden and the productivity gains resulting from dematerialisation,
  • Simplification, in the long term, of their VAT reporting obligations thanks to the pre-filling of declarations,
  • Improvement of the fight against fraud, for the benefit of economic operators in good faith and fair competition,
  • Improved real-time knowledge of business activity. »

How will SENEF and its solutions support you?

For our part, we are already connected to CHORUS PRO and so we will mainly use this platform for the dematerialization of invoices.

However, we do not exclude other potential interfaces at the request of customers, but which will have to be analysed and studied before any development.

CHORUS PRO will offer an experimental phase from 3 January 2024 in order to be able to carry out initial connection tests and we will be sure to keep you informed until then.

The SENEF teams of your PORGISAP – PROGICLEAN – SEENET solutions are at your disposal to answer all your questions and support you in this process.

We've been partners since 2011, so joining forces with Silae, France's leading software company, to achieve our objectives was a logical step in our strategic thinking.

The strength of our pooled solutions is a real opportunity for the service sectors (Personal Services, Seniors' Residences, Cleaning & Multiservices, Security & Guarding, Hospitality) and a major time-saver for our customers on a daily basis. What's more, we share a common desire to go international, and our synergies will be a major asset in rapidly conquering market share abroad."
