PayPay has a campaign "Total 1 billion yen New Year's lottery" that allows you to participate 25 times or more and up to 162 times in a lottery where you can win a PayPay bonus equivalent to a maximum of 100,000 yen if you meet two conditions (completion of identity verification and email setting). is being implemented. The challenge period is from 9:00 on December 27, 2021 to January 11, 2022 (1:59 on the 12th), and the lottery period is from January 14 to 21 (1:59 on the 22nd). One of the conditions for participation is that it takes only two minutes to verify your identity using your My Number Card (a public personal authentication service for My Number Cards). I want to mention Depending on the status of the application, it will take about 3 days to 1 week (about 2 to 3 weeks) to review the identity verification. Personal identification using the public personal authentication service for PayPay's My Number card uses the "PIN code for digital certificates for signature (6 to 16 alphanumeric characters, uppercase letters only)". This number is different from the 4-digit PIN number required by the Digital Agency's new corona vaccination certificate, so let's check it out in advance. The reporter inadvertently entered a different PIN and received an error message saying, "My number card could not be read." After several tries, I finally realized that I had entered the password for the wrong service by mistake. If the passwords do not match, a message such as "The PIN is incorrect" is generally displayed, and you can notice the password error the first time you enter it incorrectly. Be very careful not to make any mistakes when entering your PIN (6 to 16 alphanumeric characters, uppercase letters only).　The electronic certificate PIN for signing will be locked if you enter it incorrectly five times in a row, and you will not be able to unlock it or reset your PIN without going to the municipal office. This authentication flow places a heavy burden on both local governments and users, so it is being reviewed in the future. However, until the review is executed, if you enter the PIN incorrectly 5 times in a row, it will be forcibly locked, so we strongly recommend that you be careful when entering the number. As of December 1, 2009, the My Number card penetration rate (percentage of cards issued to the population) was 39.9%, but the penetration rate varies considerably by prefecture and municipality. This year's 1 billion yen New Year's gift lottery is likely to serve as an easy-to-understand example of private sector use of public personal identification services for My Number cards.
