More secure IT – multi-factor authentication is required från 17 June
A majority of all IT-breaches and cyberattacks can be avoided using
so-called multi-factor authentication (MFA). From 17 June 2024, the University is introducing a more secure login using MFA, to access email and files, and other services in Microsoft 365.
With your student account you get a student email address where the university sends information about your studies.
Your email is hosted by Outlook.com via Microsoft 365 Education, where you receive an inbox with 50 GB of email space.
Just visit Outlook using any device and log on with user ID and your Password A. You need to enable multi-factor authentication the first time you want to access your email.
You can also configure your email in different ways. You can for example configure an autoreply or set up email forwarding if you want to keep using your old Gmail, Hotmail or other email services.
When you configure other email client you need to use the instructions for Exchange account settings. You cannot use the instructions for POP, IMAP or Outlook.com. These ways to connect are not supported in our Office 365 Education, even though you will find such instructions on the Microsoft support web.
