In one aspect, the invention relates to a method for controlling an analysis system comprising:- receiving (101), by an encryption unit (204), authentication data of a user;- in case of a successful authentication, generating (103), by the encryption unit, a user-specific security code (310);- outputting (105), by the encryption unit, the security code to the authenticated user;- receiving (106), by an authentication unit (207) operatively coupled to the analysis system, the security code and the user-ID via a user-interface (217) coupled to the authentication unit;- decrypting (107), by the authentication unit, the security code;- if the decrypted security code matches with the user-ID, authenticating (109) the user at the authentication unit and generating an authentication signal by the authentication unit for permitting the user to initialize at least one function of the analysis system.
