after I changed my eid, I can not logon anymore to federal services the certificate for my old eid card is being used and not the new certificate - error like in attached picture I checked in edge - there I get a screen indicating their are 2 certificates for my name (see previous screenshot), and prompts for which to use the old returns same error as in FF, and new is ok in FF I want to delete this certificate in setting-security-certificates : I delete - close browser-open browser and the certificates are still present. in FF I am not prompted for the certificates, so I can not choose and FF selects the old certificat --> error the question : how to delete these certificates permanently - they will be downloaded by first login attempt best regards, Guy
