Recall and create a new multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your user account

Have you lost your MFA key for your account?

When you have activated multi-factor authentication for your account, you are required to log in with multi-factor authentication when you want to make changes to your account on uu.se/konto.

If you have lost the key, you can always log in to uu.se/konto using your BankID app, which provides equivalent security to multi-factor authentication. If you don't have BankID, you can get help at one of the university's reception desks to restore your account.
