This is how two-step verification works

Two-step verification is an additional security feature when logging in. With it, an extra check is done to establish the identity of the person logging in with certainty. This often requires you to verify your login via your mobile phone.

Methods for two-step verification

There are several methods for two-step verification. For most systems, such as Self-Service, SIS and Canvas, use the Tiqr app. For Microsoft applications and Templafy, you use the Microsoft Authenticator app. In addition, some employees use systems that require a YubiKey.

Setting up two-step verification

This is how to set up two-step verification:

• Two-step verification via Tiqr
• Two-step verification via Microsoft Authenticator
• Two-step verification via YubiKey

Two-step verification for external employees and guests

External employees and guests also need to set up two-step verification to access files in, for example, Microsoft Teams and OneDrive. For this, see the Microsoft 365 guest account page.
