Well, we are not in October yet. How is it supposed to work now? AFAIK there is no signage in FRA telling people with US or other eligible passports to exit through the egates. In fact, there are staff directing people with US passports to the long queue. And then the egates actually didn’t work with my US passport (so the signage and staff instructions are apparently correct).

But then it seems to work differently in MUC (no experience, just going by your post).

And people who are registered for EasyPass report that it doesn’t work for them. Unclear why.

And then there is discussion that the registration may only be good for one year when the website says for life of passport.

Okay, I will agree isn’t just confusing. It’s a mess.
