You can copy and paste passwords from the password manager into the app. The password manager will not enter your e-finance login details automatically for you. Alternatively, you can click on “Skip password” when you log in to the app. In future, you will be able to log in with Face ID or fingerprint identification directly.

It’s often because the device wasn’t connected to the Internet or its energy-saving settings prevented notifications from being accessed. Further information and solutions can be found at postfinance.ch/push-notifications.

All notifications can also be viewed at any time in the app’s notification center.

Go to the device-specific instructions at postfinance.ch/push-notifications.
