More security during registration: MFA is coming
In order to better protect your data, the university is gradually introducing multi-factor authentication (MFA). This means that you will need a second confirmation in addition to your password when logging in - e.g. via an app.
This second factor when logging in will significantly reduce the risk of identity theft and unauthorised access to university systems.
From October 20, 2025, VPN access will only be possible with MFA.
