You have not changed your password in over a year

Everybody at UiO has to change their password once a year. All users receive an e-mail about this to your UiO e-mail address.

If you do not change your password in time, your account will be suspended and you lose access to our IT services. Order a single-use code from our password services to make a new password. Once you have changed your password you will regain access to our IT services within the hour.

You have recently changed your password

It can take up to an hour before your new password has reached all our services.

Wrong password and/or user name

Try logging in to our password services and click "Show password" to make sure that you are writing your password correctly.   

If you are still experiencing issues with logging in, use the password services to make a new password.

If you do not remember your username, use the password services.
