Two factor authentication for Word, OneDrive, Teams and other Microsoft 365 products, Canvas and My Studies
You must use two-factor authentication (secure login) for Microsoft 365 (Word, OneDrive, Teams etc.) and Feide (Canvas, My Studies etc.) at UiO. Confirm your login with a mobile phone.
Read more about two-factor authentication at the UiO at https://uio.no/tofaktor, and access more guides from the same page. There may be two-factor authentication on other services later.
For MS365 applications, you will receive a push notification on your mobile when you are asked for two-factor authentication, and for the Feide login, a new button called Use work or school account will appear. Use that button when you log in to Canvas, My Studies, or other services with Feide, and you get the same, simple two-factor solution with push notifications on your mobile, as for Microsoft 365.
We are introducing two-factor authentication because passwords alone are no longer considered sufficiently secure. With this solution, your data and UiO's data and infrastructure become more secure and less vulnerable to attack. The introduction of two-factor authentication also takes place at most other universities and colleges in Norway.
