The plugin integrates with the system to support secure identity verification and digital signatures in compliance with Portuguese and EU regulations.

1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about this plugin in our search results. Plugin Autenticação Gov is maintained by the Portuguese government's authentication authority (AMA — Agência para a Modernização Administrativa), and as a government infrastructure component, it is critical to check directly with the official provider whether a native Apple Silicon build has been released or is planned. Visit the official AMA website or contact their support to confirm the current status. Given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), it is important to verify this well in advance — if no native build is available or planned, you will need to explore alternative authentication methods before that deadline. Many Portuguese government services are beginning to support browser-based authentication (via government portals), which may serve as a contingency if the plugin cannot be updated natively.
