About this app

Simple - Safe - Intuitive

DATEV SmartLogin is the key to your confidential data in the DATEV online world.

When you register in the online portal, simply scan the QR code - with your SmartLogin app - and you're registered.

With a personal PIN, you protect your SmartLogin app from unauthorized use by third parties when you start the app. The arrangement of the PIN input keys varies to make it difficult to spy on them. Various mechanisms protect you from data theft.

DATEV SmartLogin is available to all DATEV users free of charge as an authentication medium. You can find more information on our website: https://www.datev.de/smartlogin

The use of the DATEV SmartLogin app on a root Android device is prohibited!

Important NOTE:
To rule out the attempt to defraud ("phishing") from the outset, please note:
• Always enter the PIN in the DATEV SmartLogin app on your smartphone. DATEV will never ask you to enter your SmartLogin PIN elsewhere (e.g. on websites, in emails).

• Make sure that the page for logging in to the DATEV online portal is actually displayed in the browser on the PC screen before you scan the QR code. DATEV will never ask you to scan the QR code elsewhere (e.g. from emails, other applications or apps). If you have accidentally scanned the QR code somewhere else, log out of the SmartLogin app by logging out and blocking.

Ratings and reviews

if you ever get a problem and datev has to work with you to fix it. they wont. 4 months on a simple problem and you can't even get through to them. 15 emails. 2 letters they have to sign for. it feels like they reached the company size where they can just ignore you. we will look for other solutions and leave dativ as soon as we can.

Since the last update in Sep 2025 the app seems very stable. The login process is impressively fast and intuitive. Excellent job!

why a separate app? there are enough standard-based, secure and independently reviewed ones.
