Starting from 10 June, you must have activated MFA

Umeå University is increasing security to reduce the risk of unauthorised access to your information or account.

Starting from 10 June, students will need to have activated MFA (multi-factor authentication) to log into various systems, such as Canvas and the student web.

Here is a guide on how to activate MFA.

If you have not changed your Umu-id password after 7 May 2024, you need to do so before activating MFA. If you need assistance or have questions about MFA, please contact ITS Servicedesk.
