MFA – for a more secure login
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) gives you added protection when logging in. In short, it means that you need to perform an additional action to verify your identity when logging in to certain services of systems at the University.

Uppsala University offers two methods of multi-factor authentication:
- Using your mobile phone. Microsoft Authenticator is the recommended application and will work with all systems and services att Uppsala University.
- Using your web browser. An alternative when there is no mobile phone available. This inferior method is less secure and should only be used as a last resort.

Joint Web Login
The Joint Web Login service is used to prevent unauthorized access to the Uppsala University web services.
It enables easier access for users to log onto the web services ensuring access to the all the services without having to log on and off between using the individual services.
Who can use the service?
Only those authorized to use the respective services they want access or use will gain access. An automatic Joint Web Login does not guarantee open access to all services in the entire university system.
When logging on to a service using Joint Web Login, you also access the service Joint Web Login. This system verifies your active, employee or student account status against your profile and which services you will be able to use. When logging out of the web service, you are not automatically logged off from all services.
