pple and Google ID. The developers are confident that the difficulties with "import substitution of login" will arise for the services themselves, and not for the users

The Litres service has warned users about disabling the ability to log in to the site and app via Apple or Google ID from April 22 (an RBC correspondent received this notification). "If you do not add alternative logout methods, access to your account will only be possible by contacting our support service," the Litres letter says, but it is noted that if the user's account is linked to an Apple or Google email, it will remain valid for logging in.


Similar notifications are also sent to users by the VK Play service, an RBC correspondent found out. Some services have already disabled the ability to log in via Apple or Google ID, for example Ozon. According to a representative of this company, less than 1% of users used Apple ID to log in to their account, and Ozon did not have authorization via Google. He also noted that this option has now been disabled in compliance with the law. "More than 99% of our malaysia whatsapp resource users log in to their personal account via our own Ozon ID service. It works as follows: customers enter a phone number, and they receive a one-time password via a call or SMS. This way, the account will be reliably protected, because you can only log in to it if you have access to your phone," said an Ozon representative.

Why do they disable authorization in advance?
It was assumed that the changes concerning the authorization methods would come into force on December 1, 2023. But in November last year, it was decided to provide for a transition period until January 1, 2025. As the author of the initiative, Deputy Head of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy Anton Gorelkin, explained at the time, after consultations and meetings with the industry, it became clear that the deadlines needed to be extended - otherwise there would be no guarantee of stable functioning of the platforms, which "would jeopardize the comfort of Russian users."

Gorelkin also indicated that punishment for resources that violate the requirements of the law will be developed later, “after assessing law enforcement practices.”

"The assessment of law enforcement is still in progress, we treat market participants with understanding. Therefore, it will be relevant to talk about responsibility after the end of the transition period," Gorelkin told RBC.

A representative of Litres reported that until January 1, 2025, a deferment was provided for those who do not have their own login systems. "Due to the lack of clear criteria, in order to reduce risks for our company, in December 2023 we removed the option to register new users through these systems from the first screens and, thus, we no longer exchange information about new users with these systems, but left the opportunity for already registered users with these options to log in to the company's resources," he explained, noting that the service is now reminding registered users of the need to create alternative login tools.
