Vietnam: What are the guidelines for authenticating OTP for Single sign-on control with VSSID application according to Official Dispatch 836/BHXH-CNTT?
On March 26, 2024, the Vietnam Social Security (BHXH) issued Official Dispatch 836/BHXH-CNTT 2024 to provide guidance on implementing OTP authentication for Single sign-on (SSO) control.
Pursuant to the Appendix accompanying Official Dispatch 836/BHXH-CNTT 2024, the OTP authentication instructions are as follows:
(1) Check information on the I-AM system
Step 1: Log in to https://user.baohiemxahoi.gov.vn
Step 2: Check the social security number in the Account Information section.
(2) Upgrade VssID software to version 1.6.8
The minimum version of the VssID application should be 1.6.8 (for iOS devices, update from the App Store; for Android devices, update from Google Play).
(3) How to receive OTP code from VssID
Step 1: Log in to the SSO system with your account and password.
Step 2: After successful login in Step 1, the system will automatically switch to the OTP code input screen.
Step 3: On your phone, the VssID app will display a notification.
In case the notification is not displayed, you can still log in to VssID to retrieve the OTP code after successfully logging in to Step 1 and the OTP input screen is displayed. If you want the notification to be displayed, you need to grant permission for app notifications in your phone settings.
Step 4: SSO authentication code screen.
If you accidentally close the SSO authentication code screen without memorizing it, you can log out of VssID and log in again to display the information (note: the OTP is valid for 2 minutes).
Step 5: The user enters the OTP code on the OTP input screen of the SSO system in Step 2.

+ Payment shall be made once every 3 months, every 6 months or every 12 months or in a lump sum within the time limit stated in the contracts on sending of employees to work abroad. Employees may make payment directly to social insurance agencies of localities where they reside before going abroad or via enterprises or non-business organizations that have sent them to work abroad.
In case the payment is made via enterprises or non-business organizations that have sent employees to work abroad, these enterprises or organizations shall collect and pay social insurance premiums for employees and register the method of payment with social insurance agencies.
