# 3DS Authentication report

Analyze 3D Secure authentication performance.

[View source](/reporting/3d-secure/3ds-authentication-report.md)

The 3DS Authentication report includes information about transactions for which Adyen attempted [3D Secure authentication](/online-payments/3d-secure/) or applied a 3D Secure exemption. This report does not include transactions for which 3D Secure authentication did not apply, or transactions for which a different authentication provider attempted authentication.

The 3DS Authentication report will replace the [3D Secure Authentication report](/reporting/3d-secure/authentication-report). The 3DS Authentication report has updated filtering logic. Because of this, you cannot fully reconcile the numbers between these two reports.

You may have to update your report data ingestion logic if you automatically generate, download, and ingest reports or ingest manually downloaded reports into your system.

**Generating and downloading**: Get this report [manually](/reporting/manually-get-reports) or [automatically](/reporting/automatically-get-reports).

**Time zone**: CET time zone.

**Date range**: Select the date range of data included when you generate the report in your [Customer Area](https://ca-test.adyen.com/).

**Availability**: Available for [company accounts](/account/account-structure#company-account) and [merchant accounts](/account/account-structure#merchant-accounts).

## How to use this report

You can use the 3DS Authentication report to analyze authentication performance for transactions where Adyen is the authentication provider. The filtering logic has been updated compared to the [previous version](/reporting/3d-secure/authentication-report/) of the report, and we have added new columns to provide more context when looking at authentication performance.

The scope of the 3DS Authentication report differs from the [3D Secure Conversion report](/reporting/3d-secure/conversion-report). The conversion report includes all card transactions that started as an offer, can contain drop-offs, and does not contain all transactions where Adyen attempted 3D Secure or exemptions. The authentication report includes all 3D Secure transactions and exemptions, and should be used to analyze authentication performance.

## Structure

### Entries

Under the header line, each line in the report is a separate entry. Each entry represents a transaction.

### Columns

Each column shows specific information about the entries.

The data type for each column is `string`, but the data type can change depending on the application you use to read the CSV file.
