Don't worry. As long as you know your email address that you used with your account you can go to https://identity.mobile-retter.de/Account/ForgotPassword and reset your password. You will receive a mail and in the salutation you will find your login name. If you also forgot your password, you can reset it also using the link in that email. Otherwise ignore that email.

Is the system the same as a HVO/First Responder-System?

Absolutely not! It is a First Responder 2.0, so to speak - an extension of the First-Responder-System. We check before alerting which Fast Responder is close to the emergency location. In this case the Fast Responder is alerted via the app. This is the only way to reduce the time without a cardiac massage.
