In 2025, Chalmers will introduce a series of changes in order to increase the sign-in security for students. These changes are partly due to the current global security situation and partly due to Chalmers – along with other Swedish seats of education – constantly striving to increase IT system security.
This section will describe current changes and instruct you as a student on what you need to do.
Planned changes
The following changes are planned:
- Step 1 (Dec 2024 – Jan 2025) Introduced: Increasing sign-in security by raising the trust level for the account you as a student use to sign in to the Chalmers systems.
- Step 2 (Jan 2025 and later): Introduction of student sign-in using so-called Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Microsoft cloud services, e.g. e-mail, Teams and OneDrive.
What you as a student need to do
Instructions for installing MFA
When you receive instructions to add MFA, please follow the steps below. It is important that you read each step carefully and do not skip any part. If you have not received instructions, you can still add MFA, but the exemption for campus networks will not apply until Chalmers activates it. Therefore, you may be required to log in with MFA even on campus.
