Multifactor authentication (MFA, 2FA) has been developed based on feedback from students. Thank you for your feedback!

Going forward, you will be prompted to authenticate with MFA less frequently, and MFA will apply to multiple applications after authentication.

What should you do?

Use Aalto's remote connection (VPN) while working. This ensures that MFA is requested less often. Please also note that if you have blocked cookies in your browser, you will also be asked for MFA more frequently in the future.
