Manage multifactor authentication, MFA

KTH has started implementing multifactor authentication, MFA for all KTH accounts.
This means you will log in using your username, password, and an approval via a mobile app. The rollout is gradual, and you will receive information when it’s time for your department. Here you’ll find instructions on how to prepare and manage MFA for your KTH account.

To protect your KTH account, you need to use an app to confirm who you are when you log in to KTH services. You do this via multifactor authentication, MFA. This means that you log in in two steps: using your username and password, and with approval via an app on your phone.

Link a mobile phone to MFA

Linking a mobile phone to MFA only needs to be done once per device. After linking the phone, you simply log in with your password and verification via your mobile phone.

When you link your phone to MFA, you need to have access to a computer and your mobile phone at the same time.
